SCALES - texture

This is some research towards what I'm going to be doing,
I needed to looke at scales of reptiles to learn their depth/texture/thickness.

These are both crocodile scales, as they get close to the tail the scales become much more loose and heavier, yet when they're closer to their face the scales are more tighter and together.

Is that lazy enough for you?

A snakes scales/skin is shed every so often they look much more smoother in comparison to the crocodiles earlier. Their scales aren't as bumpy and harsh to the touch. They look shiny and almost wet.
My next observation will be on COLOUR.
