ALT Skull of a B. constrictor in a (A) lateral and (B) ventral view. The colored bones are the tooth-bearing bones in this species: blue is the maxilla, yellow is the mandible, red is the palatine, and green is the pterygoid. CT scans are specimen UMMZ: Herps: 203842 from the Morphosource digital repository. Individual bones were divided into thirds as illustrated in (C) to assist in kinematic analyses. Teeth were numbered from anterior to posterior, as illustrated in (C).
