Snake scales
Snake scales. Close-up of the scales covering the skin of a snake. Snake scales are made of keratin, the same material that is found in fingernails in humans. Scales can be keeled (ridged), granular (rough) or smooth. Most snakes use specialised scales on the underside of their body to grip surfaces as they move. A snakes skin and scales are periodically shed in one piece to reveal a new set underneath

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of snake scales up close. The image reveals the remarkable texture and pattern that covers the skin of these fascinating reptiles. Snake scales, composed of keratin, resemble human fingernails in their material composition. The diversity among snake scales is evident as they can be keeled (ridged), granular (rough), or smooth. These unique features serve various purposes for different species. Particularly noteworthy are the specialized scales found on the underside of a snake's body, enabling them to grip surfaces with ease while moving. Snakes undergo a remarkable process known as molting, where their entire skin and scales are shed in one piece. This shedding allows for the emergence of a fresh set of vibrant and undamaged scales underneath, ensuring optimal protection and functionality. As we delve into this mesmerizing photograph captured by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into nature's ingenious designs within animal anatomy. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant details like snake scales hold immense importance in understanding zoology and biology. Let this image transport you to an enchanting world where snakes gracefully navigate their surroundings using their extraordinary skin patterns and textures—a testament to the wonders found within our natural world.
