I don't know about you guys but I really rarely get the chance to talk chams with anyone outside of the forum. This may seem like a total newb thing... But I thought that it would be iteresting to see how everyone else pronounces those Crazy scientific names that make up our hobby. I found that you will hear variations even among experienced herpers. If you can think of any good ones that maybe you have been wondering about put them here and spell them out how you say them phonetically and next time your talking chams with someone you don't have to worry about sounding like an idiot.
The only Real one that I have heard variations on that stands out is "Ambilobe"...
I have heard it pronounced like "Am-be-low-bee" or "Am-be-lowb"
Or what would be really cool is if someone has a link to a site thats lists the species and subspecies along with a pronunciation.
