Ventral scales

In snakes, the ventral scales or gastrosteges are the enlarged and transversely elongated scales that extend down the underside of the body from the neck to the anal scale. When counting them, the first is the anteriormost ventral scale that contacts the paraventral (lowermost) row of dorsal scales on either side. The anal scale is not counted.[1]

gollark: Maybe I should just do stacks, those are fun.
gollark: Yaaay!
gollark: I've just realized that if I have a register which always contains 0, some of my instructions just become special cases of other instructions, which is quite neat.
gollark: SPARC sounds very strange.
