A total of 65 morphologically distinct types of scales were investigated, including 35 from dorsal side and 30 from ventral portion. Dorsal side scales have a length range of 82.7 to 141.3? and width range of 55.1 to 78.8?. The length of scale on the ventral region ranged from 82.7 to 133.9? and width 63 to78.8?.
