Just trying to remember something. From top to bottom, does an asian aro have 5, or 6 scales?

5 or 6 scales ... :eek:


... more like 5 or 6 ROWS of scales! ;)

I think it's 6, but I'm not sure if the sixth row runs along the back and is shared by both sides, or there is a sixth row on each side.

I would go check ... but the tank lights are off, I'm going to bed soon ... and I'm far too lazy! :D

The 6th row is on the back. There will always be one overlapping usually along the 6th or 7th piece on the back unless it's a YTL.

Obviously 5-6 rows, if you understood my question. :)
