Hi. I made the change about being found in Siwa oasis because I'm currently living here, at the foot of a mountain on the edge of the desert, and I've seen two specimens which I think are coloratus. I admit I know nothing about snakes at all so apologies if I am incorrect. My cat, who was born in the wild here, attacked one of the snakes and killed it-an amazing sight. Then her mother, who is still living wild, took the snake and ate half of it. I have recovered the skin from the other half, and because I was so fascinated I looked it up on the Internet to try and identify. 163.121.179.226 ( talk) 11:20, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Caissaca, I saw your recent revert of my last revert to Bothrops jararaca. Please read this and then maybe we can move forward in a more constructive manner. Cheers, -- Jwinius ( talk) 21:40, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Once again, thanks for your response to this question on the Subspecies talk page. If you can spare a little more time, though, I'd like to ask for your opinion on a related matter.
First of all, I believe what you say in this matter is correct. It makes sense and it agrees with what a number of others at WP have also said in other discussions that I've been part of. I must admit, however, that those discussion were caused in part by my own misunderstanding of this issue. The last time it was a debate where some people wanted to create separate articles for subspecies, including nominate subspecies, while others did not want to create articles for subspecies at all. I don't like either of those solutions.
I've wrestled with the problem of writing and organizing natural history articles at WP for the last two years, wondering how best to organize all the common names, scientific names, taxonomic synonyms and images of each taxon. I believe that what we need most of all is a practical solution. Considering the way WP works and how so many (sub)species are already described in the literature, I think the best method is is to have separate articles for all subspecies, except for the nominate subspecies, the information for which should be included in the species article. You can find my reasons here. What do you think of this approach? -- Jwinius ( talk) 15:48, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Caissaca, Sorry, but after a check I now see that Ecuador is listed in McDiarmid (1999); a fact that I had missed it the first time around. Phew, that was beginning not to make any sense! However, the information from Campbell & Lamar (2004), describing how the range apparently extends further south in Ecuador than preciously supposed, is correct. And, I see that I made another small error. However, if you have references for its occurrence in southern Ecuador, down to El Oro, older than Freire-Lascano & Kuch (1994), or even references for Peru older than Tello-V. (1998) and Pesantes-Segura (2000), then please add this information. Remember, however, that the presence of B. asper in mainland South America was controversial for some time: it was previously thought that these snakes were actually B. atrox. Cheers, -- Jwinius ( talk) 23:00, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi Caissaca, Recently, it seems that you've been reasonably active with the snake articles. This makes me happy. Would you by any chance be interested in a copy of my watchlist? It's almost only on the subject of snakes, mostly the Viperidae, and you can copy and paste it into your own raw watchlist. If you're interested, email me your email address and tell me what your preferred format would be (DOS or Unix format, zip or gzip, etc.). Cheers, -- Jwinius ( talk) 23:50, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi Caissaca, Some anonymous user has been making edits to the Leiopython again. In the past I suspect that some of these edits may have been made by Raymond Hoser himself, since they came from Australian IP addresses and were so defensive of his work. Some of the last edit will also have to be reverted -- especially the stuff about the common names (unreferenced) -- but, this time I think I'll leave the first changes up to you. Cheers, -- Jwinius ( talk) 00:25, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Bothrops, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Santa Cruz. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
