>>When making a band count on snakes, do you include the tail?
>>Also, is their any consistentcy when breeding animals whith a similar count? thanks-smokey

For taxonomic purposes, you woudl normally count bands on body and tail separately. Whether there is consistency will depend on the species, and on how the banding is controlled genetically and developmentally.

Cheers,
