	The diamondback is a type of rattlesnake. It shouldn't be a separate answer.

	Great quiz. Can't believe I forgot Copperhead.

	There does seem to be rather a shortage of the letter U in Snakeland. Maybe the snake's forked tongue makes pronouncing this letter difficult.

	Snake? SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

	If no one else is going to say it: I have had it with these motherf*ing snakes on this motherf*ing Sporcle quiz!

	possibly add indigo snake. that would be tricky. good quiz though!!!

	I liked this quiz. However, I would have liked to see the broad categories of snakes (pythons, cobras, rattlesnakes, etc.) replaced them with specific species (death adder, king cobra, Burmese python). And I was so hoping to see my favorite snake name (Bushmaster), but alas it was not so. More quizzes like this please!

	I think as a whole it was good quiz. I understand people nitpicking about species names but I think it's better they remain broad that way the lay play, who has heard of a python but wouldn't naturally think of a "burmese python" can still enjoy it.

	Am I still the only one who gives normal urls to the quizzes?

	The bonus answer wipes away all possible pickiness about species selection. Nice. :)

	I got the bonus answer because of kill bill. mamba, cottonmouth, and copperhead were the first three I tried. Also, "asps! very dangerous! You go first."

	I think you should accept milk snake for king snake, since the vowel distribution is the same. And possibly even blind snake, although you can kind of see from the spacing that it's a four letter word.

	Never heard of a boomslang. Isn't that Dutch for tree snake though?

	DarkPhalanx:	May 2nd, 2010 at 18:29 GMT	-2 points
	As far as I'm aware, asps aren't a type of snake but rather an antiquated name for them

	i tried milk snake for the one on the top of the second column and it didnt accept it.

	Thank you Sir Mix A Lot for reminding me about anacondas :)

	caramba:	May 2nd, 2010 at 20:18 GMT	7 points
	Thanks for playing. I have added Milk Snake as an acceptable alternative for _i__. I haven't claimed that this is an exhaustive list or that some of the names do not technically reference the same snake. Also, I purposely did not try to include the subspecies as I would have hit the 200 answer limit very quickly. Ball Python, Gaboon Viper and King Cobra were all on the beta version.

	What do people think of this quiz format? I thought blanking the consanants was a way to make a "name as many ____ as you can" quiz without having to include all possible answers. It also was supposed to allow quiz takers to figure out some they didn't think of by looking at the letter patterns, although with only 21% getting "Sea" from "_ea" perhaps this wasn't as effective as I thought it would be. Please vote this comment up if you like this format, down if you don't.

	I hate snakes Jock! I hate em!

	adal:	May 2nd, 2010 at 20:55 GMT	8 points
	For me, seeing the vowels, coupled with realising that it's in alphabetical order, helped quite a lot. It's not a bad format, but it does, for better or worse, turn it into a bit of a word-play quiz as well.

	Milk Snake sounds like Milkshake... and now I really want one

	marpocky:	May 2nd, 2010 at 21:46 GMT	27 points
	@caligal14: My milk snake brings all the boys to the yard.

	TheArbiter:	May 2nd, 2010 at 22:08 GMT	1 point
	"Those on a plane" should so be a bonus answer!

	jefe_:	May 2nd, 2010 at 22:43 GMT	-1 points
	Make King Snake and Milk Snake separate answers, to preserve the alphabetization.

	Djibouti:	May 2nd, 2010 at 22:54 GMT	8 points
	Anyone else guess 'trouser' hoping for a bonus?

	JayHankEdLyon:	May 2nd, 2010 at 23:35 GMT	2 points
	The fact that the subtitle for the quiz doesn't have a question mark is just killing me. I know it's obviously not your fault, Caramba, and that it has little to nothing to do with this fine specimen of quiz, but I just had to say it. I think I have a problem.

	Jerdoggiedog:	May 3rd, 2010 at 01:22 GMT	0 points
	I like this quiz. The alphabetical order was really a nice thing. Its funny how many snakes are named ____ snake.
