I just remembered reading the article in your first link, as it's not every day new snake species are named. It was a while ago though, so i had to do a bit of research.

Yeah, it was a little while ago. An amazing find though. I can just imagine what the response was when they see the snake has altered its color all together.

Hey I was close!

You were very close...on the Mud Snake trail and everything.

a long tail grass lizard, it wouldnt be that simple right?

 

[davo]

unfortunately not, they are similar though (to look at). Latin names are best, I never know all the species common names too well.

I did a CD design for a friends band a couple of years ago. That picture is of me and I photoshoped myself twice into the foreground of an abandoned Steel plant near me. Then I put a night vision-like filter over the image. Pretty nifty, aye?
