*'''Support'''. This particular species is a perfect example of why [[Linnaean taxonomy]] makes more sense for animal articles. Common names are all too often entirely localized, inaccurate, out-dated (python?), or in this snake's case - in large number. Who is to say which is the "most common" usage? I've read and heard every variation mentioned in the article, and a few others that are not - I couldn't say any one is widely preferred over another. Though, I usually just defer to the article's original author when dealing with these kind of issues to prevent edit warring, unless it's glaringly wrong. -[[User:Dawson|Dawson]] ([[User talk:Dawson|talk]]) 23:31, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
*'''Weak oppose''', because it depends on evidence of actual usage, which has not been presented by either side. But we should use common names when they are common and unambiguous; if they are also wrong or misleading, ''explain'' why to the reader.

Placement of this species in the genus ''Charina'' is a mistake. Recent molecular work shows unambiguously that ''Calabaria'' not only belongs in its own genus, it belongs in its own subgroup, Calabariidae. See: Pyron, R.A., Burbrink, F.T., Wiens, J.J., 2013. A phylogeny and revised classification of Squamata, including 4161 species of lizards and snakes. BMC evolutionary biology 13, 93. The article needs to be revised accordingly. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/81.147.86.2|81.147.86.2]] ([[User talk:81.147.86.2|talk]]) 23:29, 20 May 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
