Definition
Relating to or concerning a gastrostege, which is a ventral scale on a snake's belly.
Etymology
From Greek 'gastro-' (stomach or belly) + 'stegon' (roof or covering). This zoological term specifically refers to the protective belly scales of snakes and other reptiles, literally meaning 'belly covering.'
Kelly Says
Snakes have specialized belly scales called gastrosteges that are wider and stronger than their other scales—they're specifically designed for gripping surfaces as the snake moves, making them super efficient crawlers!
