Gular scales on a snake are scales on the underside of a snake's head which are to be found in the central or throat region. These are in contact with the first ventral scales of a snake's body and are flanked by the chin shields.
Famous quotes containing the word scales:
“For these have governed in our lives,
And see how men have warred.
The Cross, the Crown, the Scales may all
As well have been the Sword.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
