SUBCAUDAL - HOW TO SAY SUBCAUDAL?
SUBCAUDAL - Unlocking the correct sound of Subcaudal in 2023
Subcaudal refers to the lower part of the tail in animals, especially reptiles and birds.
It is a term used to describe the region or structures located towards the end of the tail.
Pronunciation:
To pronounce 'subcaudal', you can say 'sub-ko-DL' with the emphasis on the second syllable.
Alternatively, you can say 'sub-KAW-dl' or 'sub-KAW-dal' with the emphasis on the second syllable.
Test yourself by speaking the following examples:
1. The subcaudal region of a snake is located near the tip of its tail
2. The number of subcaudal scales on a bird's tail can vary between species
3. In reptiles, the subcaudal bone provides support and flexibility to the tail
4. The subcaudal feathers of a bird help with balance and steering duri...

Eastern Brown Snake and its Shed Skin
This Brownsnake was quite dark and not too bad a size. Finding its recently shed skin just a few feet away allowed for a reassuring confirmation of the species (not really necessary in this case, but fun). Part of the skin was missing so I couldn't do a proper count of the ventral scales; but otherwise it had all the right numbers for an Eastern Brown: divided subcaudal scales, a divided anal scale, seventeen midbody scales, etc.

The skin of a snake is covered in scales. Contrary to the popular notion of snakes being slimy because of possible confusion of snakes with worms, snakeskin has a smooth, dry texture. Most snakes use specialized belly scales to travel, gripping surfaces. The body scales may be smooth, keeled, or granular. The eyelids of a snake are transparent "spectacle" scales, which remain permanently closed, also known as brille.
The shedding of scales is called ecdysis (or in normal usage, molting or sloughing). In the case of snakes, the complete outer layer of skin is shed in one layer.[44] Snake scales are not discrete, but extensions of the epidermis—hence they are not shed separately but as a complete outer layer during each molt, akin to a sock being turned inside out.[45]

The skin of a snake is covered in scales. Contrary to the popular notion of snakes being slimy because of possible confusion of snakes with worms, snakeskin has a smooth, dry texture. Most snakes use specialized belly scales to travel, gripping surfaces. The body scales may be smooth, keeled, or granular. The eyelids of a snake are transparent "spectacle" scales, which remain permanently closed, also known as brille.
The shedding of scales is called ecdysis (or in normal usage, molting or sloughing). In the case of snakes, the complete outer layer of skin is shed in one layer.[44] Snake scales are not discrete, but extensions of the epidermis—hence they are not shed separately but as a complete outer layer during each molt, akin to a sock being turned inside out.[45]
Snakes have a wide diversity of skin coloration patterns. These patterns are often related to behavior, such as a tendency to have to flee from predators. Snakes that are plain or have longitudinal stripes often have to escape from predators, with the pattern (or lack thereof) not providing reference points to predators, thus allowing the snake to escape without being notice. Plain snakes usually adopt active hunting strategies, as their pattern allows them to send little information to prey about motion. Blotched snakes, on the other hand, usually use ambush-based strategies, likely because it helps them blend into an environment with irregularly shaped objects, like sticks or rocks. Spotted patterning can similarly help snakes to blend into their environment.[46]
The shape and number of scales on the head, back, and belly are often characteristic and used for taxonomic purposes. Scales are named mainly according to their positions on the body. In "advanced" (Caenophidian) snakes, the broad belly scales and rows of dorsal scales correspond to the vertebrae, allowing scientists to count the vertebrae without dissection.
Molting
A snake shedding its skin
Molting, or ecdysis, serves a number of functions. Firstly, the old and worn skin is replaced; secondly, it helps get rid of parasites such as mites and ticks. Renewal of the skin by molting is supposed to allow growth in some animals such as insects; however, this has been disputed in the case of snakes.[45][47]
Molting occurs periodically throughout the snake's life. Before a molt, the snake stops eating and often hides or moves to a safe place. Just before shedding, the skin becomes dull and dry looking and the eyes become cloudy or blue-colored. The inner surface of the old skin liquefies. This causes the old skin to separate from the new skin beneath it. After a few days, the eyes clear and the snake "crawls" out of its old skin. The old skin breaks near the mouth and the snake wriggles out, aided by rubbing against rough surfaces. In many cases, the cast skin peels backward over the body from head to tail in one piece, like pulling a sock off inside-out. A new, larger, brighter layer of skin has formed underneath.[45][48]
An older snake may shed its skin only once or twice a year. But a younger snake, still growing, may shed up to four times a year.[48] The discarded skin gives a perfect imprint of the scale pattern, and it is usually possible to identify the snake if the discarded skin is reasonably intact.[45] This periodic renewal has led to the snake being a symbol of healing and medicine, as pictured in the Rod of Asclepius.[49]
Scale counts can sometimes be used to tell the sex of a snake when the species is not distinctly sexually dimorphic. A probe is inserted into the cloaca until it can go no further. The probe is marked at the point where it stops, removed, and compared to the subcaudal depth by laying it alongside the scales.[50] The scalation count determines whether the snake is a male or female as hemipenes of a male will probe to a different depth (usually longer) than the cloaca of a female.[50][clarification needed]
