Requested move

This article ought to be at the common name (Children's python), not at the binomial name. Not only is it generally preferable to use common names, in this case it's much less ambiguous - there's no common name other than "Children's python", but there are a large number of binomial synonyms. In any case, Wikipedia:Naming conventions (fauna) says, plainly, "If there is a common name in English, use that". There's no reason for this to be at the scientific name rather than the common one. — Gavia immer (talk) 15:34, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
