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:
“In what camera do you taste
Poison, in what darkness set
Glittering scales and point
The tipping tongue?”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
