Well if the photos steve had posts of the preserved animals are accurate then there would/should be no problem viewing scale structure after the process is finished; and you still have the color (as long as it isn't exposed to sun/bright light.
Regardless of how it is done this seems like a snake one would want to preserve.

Re: Too Many Laterals
Yeah, I agree. This one is special. Just like 'ol krinkleback.
What I was getting at is that Steve had krinkleback freeze dried I believe. I think this little guy would be better preserved in formaldehyde. That ruins the color but keeps the body more life-like instead of mummy-like.

Re: Too Many Laterals
No idea, other than going the freeze dried process route.

Re: Too Many Laterals
wow, that sure was a beautiful snake. Judging from the fact that the snake was such a weakling, and that you didn't get any others like it, this coloration was probably an accident during developement and likely not an inheritable pattern morph. Or something else could have afflicted it in the womb. I have seen this before in a few other types of snakes.... one is born with a wacked out pattern and either dies right after birth or has an extremely short lived life. I had a ball python hatchling once that was very different, out of a clutch of normal babies.... had a striped face and a weird pattern. He ended up being a weakling and developing a congenital prolapse problem and not even the vet's surgery to correct it saved him. Never thought of preserving him though!!!
