Head oviform, moderately large, larger in some than in others, distinct from the 
neck ; cheeks not swollen ; snout moderately pointed, as long as the diameter of the 
eye, but variable ; nostril more or less swollen, generally formed by the rostral, first 
labial, and three nasals, but occasionally the rostral may be partially or wholly excluded ; 
9 to 15 upper and 8 to 15 lower labials ; mental small, as broad as long. Eye large ; 
ear oval, oblique, considerably smaller than half the diameter of the eye. Body-scales 
small, rounded, flat, or slightly convex, juxtaposed, smooth or more or less feebly 
keeled, those on the snout larger than those on the occiput, more or less hexagonal, 
granular, and generally obscurely keeled. Scales on the limbs but little larger than 
those on the body, tending to become subimbricate ; scales on the under surface of 
the body smaller than the dorsal scales, nearly round, granular, and obtusely keeled.
