::::That makes sense, but since im not good at writing (english is my second language), i guess ill lay some groundwork by finding images that are freely available and that can be published under an appropriate license in the wikimedia commons. There are some base morphs in the wikipedia commons, but there is not a single example of any multi-gene high-end designer morph there. About the economic notability, the biggest breeder has around 15000 snakes in his collection permanently and the company is worth millions and sells hundreds of thousands snakes per year, and most of that is ball python morphs. So i guess a case can be made. Also the total population in captivity is very high.[[Special:Contributions/178.2.55.147|178.2.55.147]] ([[User talk:178.2.55.147|talk]]) 01:11, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

[[:Python regius]] → {{no redirect|Ball python}} – This very well-known (esp. as a popular pet) snake species has a well-established unambiguous common name, so we should use that name as the article title per [[WP:COMMONNAME]] / [[WP:NCFAUNA]]. It does also have another common name ("royal python"), but "ball python" seems to be its most common name (and also seems more objectively descriptive than "royal python"). Certainly "ball python" is more common than the current name, "''Python regius''". (There may also be an [[WP:ENGVAR]] issue here, as the article was apparently originally written in American English, and "ball python" may be more common in American English than in other varieties.) The suggested destination name is already a redirect to this article, and it was the original name of the article until someone moved it in 2007 while commenting that "Scientific names should be used for page names on biological organisms whenever possible to avoid confusion". That edit summary statement seems contrary to current Wikipedia article titling guidelines, which recommend the use of common names. Just after the move in 2007, there was an RM discussion of the same suggestion that ended with no consensus but "no prejudice against relisting". Now I am relisting it, and suggesting to revert that move. —[[User:BarrelProof|BarrelProof]] ([[User talk:BarrelProof|talk]]) 23:56, 28 August 2015 (UTC) <small>''Relisted''.

:So, I'd really like to get some European input on this, as I have a vague sense (but nothing more), that the species is called the royal python more often on that side of the pond. [[User:HCA|HCA]] ([[User talk:HCA|talk]]) 00:19, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
