Common noun Proper noun

If you were listing names of a different types of animals in a group like snakes. Would each type of snake be a common noun (thus not capitalized) or a Proper noun (thus capitalized)

So would it be- Gartner snake, Boa Constrictor, Python etc...
or gartner snake, boa constrictor, python etc...
