Anyone get past the first sentince? i don't have the time to read it, anyone who has want to do a breif summary on it?

 

[Tommo]

i think it basically means that the reticulated python has been separated into different sub species

 

[RAZZA]

Lib.... these papers are for want of a better word his chance to go down in history....he has the chance to name species etc for an example "Shireenhoserus" gen nov.
But better that the likes of you and i leave it in the hands of the experts..

cheers

FFS - the first word is "for" and the last is "sake".
And the papers author does not have a reputation for methodical work.

 

[Sdaji]

Fuscus: oh!! I didn't mean it like that!
I meant...
fine fantastic stuff

:roll: :wink: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

...fine fantastic stuff...

oh :shock:
My bad :wink:

 

[kevyn]

I'm with Fuscus on this one. The author really makes no logical argument for the re-designation of the genus Python. I do believe he's simply trying very hard to make a name for himself. Good luck getting the scientific community to accept that one. Considering most respected and reputable taxonamists are designating Python reticulatus subspecies. Namely the dwarf island variants.

Hosers genus is probly surgically "reticulated" so dosent count! :twisted: :lol:

 

[craig23]

lol, i just dont bother reading it anymore.... he lives in his own little world, he has nearly every snake re classified for many years, and he is the only one that takes any notice of himself. Fortunantly thinking up a new species and publishing it on your own website, doesnt really achieve much, unless you live in the " hoser universe"

 

[Sdaji]

Are those island dwarf retic varieties actually small? I heard that Dave Barker got a baby from one of the 'dwarf' populations and power fed it to test the small hypothesis, then sold it at two years of age and 5 metres in length or something.

 

[kevyn]

The dwarf Retics do get big. They can get around 13ft. or so. In the wild however, they attain much smaller length. They can also reproduce at a small size, offically making them a dwarf subspecies.

Hosers genus is probly surgically "reticulated" so dosent count! :twisted: :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: & if nature can't achieve these milestones in a suitable timeframe, Hoser will speed things up a little and get things going!! What a man! What a surgeon! :lol: :lol: :wink:
