Nineteen rows of smooth scales can be found at the middle body, though rarely there may be seventeen. Dorsal scales each have twoapical pores at the posterior edge. The centre of the scale is lighter in colour than the edges. The dorsal side is grey-brown and features markings which are distinctive in juveniles and young snakes but fade with age. The ventral side is light yellow or white.From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
