Headshot closeup request showing scales

simias Nov 18, 2004 12:25 PM

Does anyone have an excellent close up of a corn snake (or other rat) head showing the scalation well ? I give lectures on taxonomy and would like to make a side by side comparison of Pituophis (4 prefrontals), mexican Pits (2 prefrontals) and rats (2 prefrontals). The pic is not for publication, just for school lectures on powerpoint.

thanks very much
