Think I butchered the taxobox since I lumped both species together... but tis my first article. Go easy. -- Surreal 21:23, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
I take it that it must be Jwinius, and his love for Scientific names that went through and butchered all the Pit Viper articles? Seriously....You say this is done to avoid confusion, but all it does, if anything... is confuse the living hell out of the common reader. Which is why you pretty much won't find ANY other snake listed under their scientific name on Wikipedia. Or any other animal for that matter. It is also why you won't find find them listed under their scientific name in ANY reputable encyclopedia. While it would be nice in a perfect world (since you can't get any more specific than scientific names) It is completely impractical. Which is why you never see it used.

It really should be listed under it's common name wikipedia is for everyone not just academic eliteists and last time i checked most people dont know the scientific name and therefore are being robbed of their access to this article Irishfrisian ( talk) 03:01, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
I believe the Eastern Indigo Snake (Drymarchon corais couperi) is the longest recorded species of snake in North America. The Eastern diamondback is indeed the longest venomous snake, however. MFuture 20:08, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
So what about this... http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/snakes/ss/Eastern-Diamondback-Rattlesnake-Pictures.htm ? Says 15' East Diamondback and ask.com confirms it to be true. [Anon] 14:23, 2 November 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.189.65.221 ( talk)
It would be nice to see a section added to this entry as well as Crotalus horridus. Living in West Virginia, I was always taught that the "Eastern Diamondback" was one of the two venomous snakes in the state, but the mapping of both species adds confusion to this. It seems like both species are commonly referred to as "Timber" and "Eastern" so it would be nice if a more herpetologically minded editor could clarify the difference between the two species, preferably in both entries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.80.35.172 ( talk) 09:24, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

– These species each have a well-established unambiguous common name, so we should use that name as the article title per WP:COMMONNAME / WP:NCFAUNA. See also remarks above on the Talk:Crotalus adamanteus page from 2009 and 2012. — BarrelProof ( talk) 18:09, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
