Show & Tell
What first appears on this High-white Reverse Okeetee hatchling to be skin showing between scales is demonstrated in the inset macro shot to actually be color-less zones ON scales ground zone scales. This snake is a little over weight (see the folds on the body profile in the center of the portrait shot), so one would mistakenly expect all of the “grey” lace pattern to be skin showing between scales. As you can see, all of the scales are touching, exposing no skin between. BONUS PIC . . .
