Re: Question
I do not use scientific names because I don't know all the names, and I'd have to Google each and every name I came across, even if it was 2 seconds ago. Many of them run together and I can't tell the difference visually, and I can't pronounce them in my head.
The only snakes I do use scientific names with regularly are boa constrictors, and if I do know the scientific names I'll include them along with the common names.
A problem a lot of newbies experience is that they view the "use only scientific names" as elitist, and it would push a lot of newbies (at least Americans) away because it doesn't seem accessible to them. I've seen a lot of people complain about that before.
Although I do think using scientific names can be helpful (and a lot of users do), I do not see the use in using scientific names only.
