When it comes to the [paraphyletic] group of animals known as reptiles, many peope, for whatever reason, dont seem to realize that there are more than one species of snake, lizard, geckos, etc.

People realize that different dog breeds have different characteristics, why cant they see the differences between snake species? Do all snakes look the same to the fearful?

I think its because reptiles are so alien to most people its just not part of their folk biology. Especially up here in northern cities of the US.
