Though I'd post this blue
T. ordinoides from Bob in the same thread with Don's normally colored
ordinoides for comparison.
As for advise, Brian, I think the only way you're going to be able to do nearly simultaneous scale counts is based on photos. One thing that might help is to verify which scale rows the light blue stripes are on. They should be on rows 2 & 3. Then you can take your picture from above the scale rows and use the top of the blue stripe as "row 3." You know to take the picture in the middle of the snake (1/2 way from head to tail), then zoom in on the picture and count upward, starting at row three to the middle (vertebral) stripe. Just to be safe, I'll mention to include the vertebral strip in your count; double the number, and subtract one.
If you wait till they all shed, I'm sure you'll lose track of which skin belongs to which of your ten snakes. Best wishes,
Rick
