In this Thread you can post the number of subcaudals, because I would like to collect informations for a DB

I will post the first number in a few hours, because I will recount the number of subcaudals.

First count
130 - 140 ( snake size 5'11" 180 cm )

Fabian,

I finally counted the subcaudals on the specimen I've had for several months. Mine has 145 subcaudals which makes me believe it's a male.

I plan to recount. I did it quickly and without any sort of marking device to keep track.
