The snake is still claimed to be a colubrid, but the family has been changed to Lamprophiidae in the article itself. Thus it contradicts the Lamprophiidae article, in which it is claimed that Lamprophiidae is closer to elapids than colubrids.109.57.247.56 (talk) 20:53, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The article has been modified, but it STILL contradicts another articles on Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Montpellier_snake , which treats the eastern variation as a separate species. In this article it is a subspecies. I do not know which is right, but one of the articles must be wrong.212.97.249.238 (talk) 09:48, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
