This swap is simply incorrect! Trimeresurus rubeus is part of the Trimeresurus sensu stricto clade together with T. albolabris, T. macrops etc. - absolutely not part of Craspedocephalus

OK, I see this came from the latest Reptile Database update. I have contacted Peter Uetz to get this corrected (I am on their Scientific Advisory Board). But perhaps this does suggest that we should allow a cooling-off period (e.g., at least until the following RDb update) and discussion before implementing changes like this after their initial implementation in the database.
