Snake ABCs

[alessia55]

You've seen these right?

As a little side project, I've decided I'm going to create one but with snakes. Why not, lol. Once it's done I'll be sure to put it up for all of you to see! Then those of you who have kids can print it out and teach them their ABCs the snakey way! :p

I don't know every snake out there, so I thought that as a community we could all help me pull it together. I already have some. Help me fill in the rest. PLEASE put a link or a photo of the snake along with it's name, so that I can draw it. Don't use scientific names, just put their "casual" name. For example, don't offer "python regius", but rather "ball python". Preferably, don't choose specific morphs or localities, but just the general name to make things easier for me. Ideally they would all be non-venomous snakes to keep it all as one "theme." Thanks! :D

Stephan thought you would have listed Taiwan beauty or a taipan, or reticulated python at the least.

[Jay]

Naja nigricollis commonly know as a "Zebra spitting cobra"

[lady_bug87]

^^^ she wanted something non-venomous

[KORBIN5895]

There is a zebra morph carpet python ......

[Jay]

^^^ she wanted something non-venomous

One day I will learn to read things accurately. :p

[stephanbakir]

I tried to leave anything that was already on the list, and noted anything venomous :P

I have to move that B should represent Blood Python since 'Ball' Pythons are actually Royal Pythons and some people just call them Ball Pythons. No everyone calls Royals a 'Ball' Pythons <points to self> :D

Oh sure, perhaps I just want to see Bloods represented, but you have to admit that my logic is sound <insert snicker here>.

[lady_bug87]

hahaha you're right

I can't believe I forgot that

[CDN_Blood]

hahaha you're right

I can't believe I forgot that

What can I tell ya...after not being without a python or boa for 24 years I was *bound* to learn somethin' :D

[lady_bug87]

hah probably

[alessia55]

Thanks for all your help everybody! :D

I support this change. I would list reticulated python personally... but seeing as Royals are more common. I would also submit burmese for B

[stephanbakir]

I'm with millertime on the retic name :)
