Re: When counting saddles???

Yes. You count to the vent. If there is one over the vent, it gets counted.

Re: When counting saddles???

This is a subject that I have always wondered about.

If my understanding is correct, then this image of one of my boas has 22 saddles?

Is this correct or am I off base here?



Scale counts is also something that I ponder, never found a resource that explains it or outlines it in such a way as to make me understand.
