OK....well I did scale counts using the pics that I have on my PC, did scale counts on a shed I have from one of the little ones and did scale counts on one of the snakes that was sitting close to the end of the tank. Yes, I have a headache now!
I also did scale counts on sheds and pics of my T.s.concinnus for comparison and from what I can tell, the snakes I bought as T.s.pickeringii are actually T.ordinoides. 17 scale counts on the pic, sheds and snake, compared to 19 on my T.s.concinnus sheds and pics. Now having said that, I will also say, these are REALLY small scales and I did use a magnifying glass to do it, but if I'm off by only one scale ( you count from caudal scale up to the center point on the snake, no the whole way around...which would be REALLY HARD!) then I'm wrong. So I'll be interested to see what othes have to say on this one with their specimens.....but I'm leaning towards blue phase T.ordinoides rather than blue phase T.s.pickeringii.
