Should this be merged with Rat snake ? --Kummi (talk) 21:13, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Not if you ask me. Besides Elaphe, there are at least two other genera that are also referred to as rat snakes -- Bogertophis (desert rat snakes) and Senticolis (mountain rat snakes). That's according to this ITIS page. In addition, I expect Elaphe to be split up in the not too distant future. For these reasons, I do not believe that it would be helpful to dump all our information on "rat snakes" into one big article. A better solution would be to make the rat snake article into a disambiguation page. --Jwinius (talk) 02:25, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
