How are Anteresia not more popular?

I was just referencing Neals quote about not keeping Boids, but if a Boid is a Python or Boa, and he keeps ball pythons then I was a bit confused...

Ah, the wonderful world of taxonomy.

I'm currently keeping a few bullsnakes which used to be known as Pituophis sayi, which then were known as Pituophis sayi sayi which were then known as Pituophis catenifer sayi which were then known as Pituphis melanolucas sayi which were then again known as Pituophis catenifer sayi which I believe are currently once again known as Pituophis sayi.

I'm also keeping a few species of Elaphe (what the heck is a 'Pantherophis' anyway?) and is it Lampropeltis getula? or Lampropeltis getulus? I know a few people who are adamant that they're keeping 'Chondos' and NOT Morelia viridis...

What's in a name anyway???
