Thank you for your response. I would like to see the photo if you have it available. In reference to the body bands there are only 4 plus the collar on the one with the 5 plus tip on the tail. However, two of its siblings have what I would call 4 and 1/2 body bands plus the collar. There are four distinct body bands but then between band number 1 and 2 there is a band that does not completely encircle the body. In other words if you look at it dorsally it comes up from the right and stops just to the left past the dorsal midline (granted this is a juvenile (3 weeks old) pattern and who knows what can happen as it ages). I didn't give this much thought until you mentioned it.
