Hi JSC,



Here are the scale counts for you.



BCC

scale counts - 75 to 95 dorsal rows.

227 to 250 ventrals.

49 to 62 subcaudals.

Average 15 to 21 saddles.



BCI

scale counts - 56 to 79 dorsal rows.

225 to 253 ventrals.

47 to 65 subcaudals.

Average 22 to 30 saddles.



BCA ( Amaral Boa)

scale counts - 71 to 79 dorsal rows.

226 to 237 ventrals.

43 to 52 subcaudals.

Average 22 saddles.



BCL (Longicauada)

scale counts - 60 to 76 dorsal rows.

243 to 247 ventrals.

50 to 67 subcaudals.

Average 19 to 21 saddles.



BCO (Occidentalis)

scale counts - 65 to 87 dorsal rows.

242 to 251 ventrals.

45 subcaudals.

Average 22 to 30 saddles.



The surface or side of the body normally oriented upwards, the top of the snake, is the dorsal side; the opposite side, the belly is the ventral side. The subcaudals scales are the belly scales from the vent to the tip of the tail.





Take care

Tom
