Mojave or WDB? What are the major differences for field ID'ing?

Thanks!

Yeah, no question, that's a Mojave!

That looks to be a Mojave from what I can see. Mojave's have one very large supraocular scale above their eye, whereas atrox has many small ones.

The banding indicates Mojave; the tail banding on the atrox tends to be more 50/50 in size.
