[edit] Image

We've got to come up with a better image for this article than one that marks the wrong scales. Yes, if it's clear what they are if you read the image caption, but certainly not at first glance. --Jwinius 11:25, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Can't you make one the same way? Regards, AshLin 12:08, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Sure, but first I have to find a good picture. The number of intersupraoculars is determined by taking the shortest route between the supraocular scales: that's what we'd want to show. However, most images don't resolve these small scales well enough to do that. In addition, the usual drab colors make them even even more difficult to distinguish. Mind you, it wasn't easy finding those images for the labial and circumocular scales either. --Jwinius 12:57, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
