Review
editSome notes to start:
a) Specific name > specific epithet
- done - I used to do this initially but some reviewers found "epithet" too jargony...still can be argued that epithet is more exacting in meaning than name Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:21, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
b) "and generally uncorrected by subsequent authors." is this in one of the refs?
- Yes. Brongersma (1936) points that out. I added a note to help for future reference. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:23, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
c) "pointed the correct spelling" > corrected the spelling to
- done Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:26, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
d) ref 7 could me expanded a bit
- I expanded journal name - not sure what else can be done Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:42, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
e) the image doesn't have a caption

f) subcaudal > wiktionary linked

g) can we get a phylogeny? I can make it for you if you want.
- that would be great! Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:39, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
h) "The general consensus is" is this reffed?
- Yes - FN 11 reports that most authorities regard sexes as roughly equal in size but the field research in Nigeria found otherwise Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:41, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
i) "The number and pattern of scales on a snake's body are a key element of identification to species level" > The number and pattern of scales on a snake's body play a key role in the identification and differentiation at the species level.

Overall: |
· · · |
a) Earwig is clean when you take into account that the 95% similarity websites are just copying wp.
b) I don't really have any more suggestions, so will probably pass this in a sec Dracophyllum 23:46, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
c) Final comment: Article meets GA criteria - well done cas! Dracophyllum 00:30, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
predators
editIf any study has shown that the species of birds which hunt these snakes are resistant to its venom, please add to the article - that would be of great interest. 50.111.6.149 (talk) 12:32, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
- Are those birds resistant or do their feathers protect them from the snake's fangs?
