Hi Jeff:

Thanks for all your hard work. I do have a copy of du Preez and Carruthers book that was mentioned in your last post. Other than clearing up the obbianus situation, I think we have all the info we need to put the guide together.

I was interested in Dr. Cunningham's explanation that its not too difficult to tell the difference between the species, so why all of this discussion

I wonder if these "unknown" species are obbianus or some new species making its way into the pet trade? I know obbianus has a small range and only found in Somalia, but evidently has a stable population.
