[edit] Keeping it relevant

If the last part of the Description section, as well as the entire Behavior and Venom sections, are the same for higher taxa as they are for A. c. pictigaster, then shouldn't that information be moved there? Otherwise we keep repeating ourselves, inconsistencies begin to creep in and it's generally a lot more work to maintain. I suggest the information here be limited to what is relevant to this subspecies. That's probably a good rule to follow in general too. --Jwinius 16:08, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Feel free to move it/merge it/remove it. But we should probably have a bit directing people to look at the main species article for that information, as undoubtedly someone will be looking for it in a ssp article and wonder why it isn't there. -Dawson 16:47, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
