. There are 126 primary annuli and 82 of these have secondary grooves. Primary grooves are incomplete dorsally only on the 4th and 5th primary annuli and are middorsally complete from 1st to 3rd and from 6th primary annulus onwards. Secondary grooves ‘start’ dorsolaterally on both sides from the 45th primary annulus and continue middorsally from 48th primary annulus back along the body. The secondary grooves extend across the midline on the ventral surface and become complete from the 116th primary annulus onward. Nine secondary annular grooves in front of the vent are complete. We counted 17 premaxillary-maxillary, 18 vomeropalatine, 17 dentary and 4 splenial teeth. No scales could be found.

in front of the vent. There are 126 primary annuli, 89 of which have secondary annular grooves. Primary grooves are complete middorsally on the 1st and 2nd primary annuli and from 39th primary annulus onwards, but incomplete middorsally from the 3 to 38. Secondary grooves ‘first appear’ dorsolaterally on the 38th primary annulus on the left side. On the 39th primary annulus secondary groove is on the right side dorsolaterally. Secondary grooves are not seen on 40th and 41st primary annuli. From 42nd primary annulus onwards secondary grooves are middorsal. Secondary grooves extend across the midline on the ventral surface from the 112th primary annulus to become complete. Eleven secondary annular grooves in front of the vent are complete. We counted 16 premaxillarymaxillary, 20 vomeropalatine, 16 dentary teeth and only 1 splenial tooth. No scales were observed at the 25th or 40th primary annulus. On each of the 50th and 60th primary annuli four dorsal rows of scales were found, but none were found ventrally. Where the secondary annular grooves become complete ventrally, scales occur in four rows on the dorsal and two rows on the ventral surface.
