Nasal scale

In reptiles, the nasal scale refers to the scale that encloses the nostril.

"Postnasal" redirects here. For the phonetic meaning, see Nasal release. For the cause of cough, see Post-nasal drip.

Sometimes this scale is paired (divided). In such cases, the anterior half is referred to as the prenasal and the posterior half is referred to as the postnasal.

Supranasal scales are located above the nasal scale.
