Does anyone know the scale counts that pertain to identification of this species?
Also, I have written to a University prof. for permission to use his photo of a T. butleri.

Dorsal scales max 19, reducing to 17 anterior to the vent. Supralabials 7 or 6, infralabials 8 or 9, maxilliary teeth 19 to 23, lateral stripe rows 2 & 3 + lower edge of 4. Supralabial sutures usually with relatively little black pigment.
That's from the Rossman, Ford, Seigel book.
