No i think he meant like a glossary, eg what does neonate mean

if you go into FAQ there is a glossary in there.

If its not there one of the Mods might be able to point it out.

[Hickson]

There's at least three threads already devoted to that.

A little off topic but can anyone tell me if Antaresia maculosus - spotted python, is the same as Antaresia maculosa - spotted python. Or is just a reclassification or are they different.?

Thanks Al.

 

[Hickson]

They are the same species. The second spelling - maculosa - is correct for that genus.
