just wondering how u tell the difference between them and what ther price range is cheers
WHOAAA!!!!! Wrong way round, and given the potential for a fatal mistake, do research before offering elapid ID's!!!
The keelback has a loreal scale, found between the preocular and the nasal scale.
The Rough Scaled Snake does NOT have a loreal scale.
Keelbacks have divided anal and sub-caudal scales.
Rough Scales have single anal and sub-caudal scales.
keelback
- loreal scale present
- mid scale count 15
- anal & subcaudal scales divided
rough scaled
- loreal scale absent
- mid scale count 23
- anal & subcaudal scales single
However if you are used to snakes then rough-scales look like an elapid while keelbacks don't
Can I add, I dunno what it is but roughies just look evil, keelbacks not so much. :lol: noob comment
can some0ne pease put a pic of each up so i can tell the difference and wat each one goes for as im curious and like em both
I think I should qualify my statement - ADULT rough-scales look like an elapid! Youngsters just look cutekeelback
- loreal scale present
- mid scale count 15
- anal & subcaudal scales divided
rough scaled
- loreal scale absent
- mid scale count 23
- anal & subcaudal scales single
