phaethon Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 That would be herpetologists! fuc_k it, it has more than one colour......Kill it!!!!Sad TBWG Yes, and rather harsh on the OP. Serpentologist is indeed not a real word, but it's not a bad guess. Really it is ophiology and therefore ophiologist. Herpetology is the study of all reptiles (originally) and amphibians (more recently), so asking for more specific expertise is reasonable. Golden Tree snakes are "mildly venomous", hunting mice, lizards and other snakes (serpentivorous, not ophi(o)vorous). Their fangs are at the back of the mouth and they are not a risk to people. If you are lucky and have high trees nearby you might see them gliding between trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingjok Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Sorry could not resist it .. if it's male I'd suggest Cyril! A ridiculous and unhelpful addition to this highly intellectual discussion. You should be ashamed of yourself to display such ignorance. Everyone knows that male snakes are called 'Sid'. Yes, and rather harsh on the OP. Serpentologist is indeed not a real word, but it's not a bad guess. Really it is ophiology and therefore ophiologist. Yes indeed. An ophis in the agrostis has slithered into view. But I still prefer 'serpentology', never wanting to become bogged down in egregious entomological esoterica. And yes there is another joke in there Oh, back to the topic: thanks for the name! I'll go and look it up. The snake was (very) approximately 726mm long.
