Fig. 5. Skin resistance in hatchling king snakes measured before (circles) and after (squares) the first postnatal ecdysis. The post-shed measurement is shown directly above the pre-shed measurement for each individual snake. Note that the pattern of variation among individuals is generally similar before and after ecdysis.
