History of Common Names
Here's where my curiosity meets the challenge: I have always wondered, and I have already searched but found nothing, what the history of common names really is? I'm having a hard time asking the right question, but for example, why is a Carpet Python called a Carpet Python? And why is a Children's Python a Children's python? Etc... etc... etc...
I'm curious to find out the history of common names, some are easy to just guess, like Ball Pythons when threatened turn into a ball - easily guessed! And the Blood Pythons, of course, due to their coloration... but what about the other common names some of us just wonder about and finding no answers to them?
