Look, Mark posted Jungle corn pictures in the cornsnake forum!!!

That bottom one is even more striking in real life. Doesn't look like a Corn or a Cal King - amazing snake.

Mark,

There's no good reason why Jungles can't have scientific names. Someone had to assign them to all the pure bred animals, right?

My point was that those of us who do know better could consciously avoid the kiddy names and stick to the real names. That would go a long way I think because newbs pick up their lingo from the oldschoolers. Maybe it's not realistic to think that it's going to ever happen but we have only ourselves to blame because we perpetuate it.

Country:
A species is a discrete grouping of animals that can only breed with each other. Since this is not the case, they don't really deserve a name. However, that being said the society finch which is completely man made does have a scientific name. It will most likely in time be called Pantherophis, or Lampropeltis domesticus. Domesticus being common for cats, dogs, and of course the society finch.

Those intense yellow jungle is KILLER. I want one exactly like that. Mark's Precious is another KILLER.

I no longer own any jungles. Vanan has my pair now. I have only a little gopher corn.
