Pythons - Boidae?
Hello, Dear friends. I and my colleague entering into a dispute. Help us to understand, who is right, and who is behind the times. 
Pythons are part of the family Boidae, or isolated in a separate family Pythonidae?

Re: Pythons - Boidae?
In our hobby, boas and pythons are collectively referred to as boids, but in regards to taxonomy, Boidae and Pythonidae are separate families I am fairly certain.

Re: Pythons - Boidae?
If I call a python - boidae, it is a serious mistake? Or, among the keepers this is considered normal?

Re: Pythons - Boidae?
Call it a boid, not a boidae, because a python is not a boa. A serious mistake? It depends on how nitpicky the person is who you're talking to. Some people will try to make something out of nothing.
