I was asked in an earlier post to post some closer-up head shots showing the scalation. I traded for these as being Acrantophis but was told by some they could be Dumerils. I have a great document that shows head-to-head scalation differences and it states "its impossible to tell the difference between the two based solely on dorsal/lateral markings" and that the head scalation is the definitive determining factor. Based upon these pics what do you all think?
