Parietal scales
Snake head scales connected to frontals to posterior
Parietal scales are the scales of a snake located on the snake's head and are connected to the frontals towards the posterior.[1] These plate-like scales are analogous to and take their name from the parietal bone, which forms the roof and sides of the cranium in humans.
