Keeled scales in males.....

Well Dean, you took so much time to follow up on one of your earlier posts that I went ahead and did it for ya! ;-)

So, what's this about keeled scale dimorphism in indigos? I had never noticed myself before you brought it up, and had never heard of such a phenomenon in any snake species either. Do you know of any others, and is there anything in the litterature about it, or were your the first guy to notice this intriguing difference in the sexes?

I think this topic was brought up in the past, but I wasn't a forum visitor when it happened probably, so would appreciate some info.

Dr. Phil
