Scales on dorsal surface of lower leg and basis of tail heterogeneous. Differs from T. pallidus in having a fringe of three to four distinct spines situated on the upper edge of the ear opening. Dorsal scales small, equal in size, forming a matrix with intermixed larger scales. Ventral scales usually smooth. Unfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data. However, these details, e.g. detailed descriptions (about about .72 pages) are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us if you need any of this material. |
