Here is a picture of the head of an adult male L. m. thayeri who is currently in brumation in my basement. He's a nice looking animal, but this picture that I took with a close-up lens shows in detail the beautiful scale pigmentation and the "total-eclipse" pupils. It was an easy shot to make -- he was moving slow because his body temperature was around 50 F!
