Great stuff guys.
The actual holes in the squamata scaleshave the leather laced through them, if I'm not mistaken Doc, (they were on mine) so I was offering another possibility. The way they are they are nuts, as the lace gets jammed in. The segs can either have one lace through all the loops(many do this), but this leads to potential weakness if the lacing is cut, and opens the front or back. Individual ties for each set of loops work better, and can remain tied when unfastened. I do this anyways.
The buckles are another option. As things advanced with time, I think buckle fastening are as likely an option as not. Certainly a quick and effective one.
