| Photographed at Peter Zürcher's great zoo a few days ago. Maybe Peter will write some information to this subspecies (ev. species in some time).

| Wolfgang, I thought the same and checked it in wikipedia (I know, not THE medium, but anyway good enough for me):

| It may not be a spelling mistake at all Wolfgang, perhaps our old friend from OZ has struck again and named another new subspecies? |

| Don't ever trust Wikipedia, Guenter.
and keep other things out of your mind while doing postings on snake-forums *LOL*
subfulva (latin) frum sub (=under) and fulvus (yellowish brown),
referring to the brown-yellow underside.
"subfulva" was created by LAURENT (1955) as a subspecies of melanoleuca, CHIRIO et al. (2006) regard these snakes as species (Naja subfulva).
As far as I know, further investigations are running at this time, and we'll have to wait for results.
Cheers
Peter
by the way, thanks for your work and excellent picures, waiting for more....
