My vagrans certainly have keeled scales.
I think someone already mentioned that keeled scales reflect light differently, making the snake less glossy in appearance. This is an aid to camouflage in snakes which spend much of their time in the open or in light cover, rather than in dense undergrowth. Heavily keeled scales are typical of the 'ambush vipers' and similar groups which will lie out in full view but remain unseen.

James, I love having you around. You're like big walking, talking book on snakes. You know the not-so-common stuff, the highlights, the icing on the cake stuff. Trivia, better informed, more knowledge stuff. You're a good teacher.
