Temporal scales
In reptiles, the temporal scales are located on the side of the head between the parietal scales and the supralabial scales, and behind the postocular scales.[1]
There are two types of temporal scales:[1]
- Anterior temporals are in contact with the postocular scales.
- Posterior temporals are in vertical rows not in contact with the postocular scales; sometimes called secondary and tertiary temporals.
