Of the 246 specimens examined, 233 (94.7%) have the third and fourth
supralabials entering each eye (Table 3). All snakes that have the
fourth and fifth labials entering the orbit on either side also have
seven supralabials on the same side. One specimen having only the fourth
labial entering the eye on the right side also has six supralabials on
that side, but the third supralabial is split diagonally and the part
contacting the eye does not contact the lip and hence is not a
supralabial. The remaining three atypical conditions (4/3 + 4; 3 + 4/3 +
4 + 5; 3 + 4 + 5/3 + 4) occur only one time each and on snakes having
6-6 supralabials.
