Dark markings on the flanks are quite variable between individuals, from a few large dark blotches to a multitude of smaller ones, covering mostly the antero-dorsal part of the flank. Dorsolateral ridges can be discontinued once or twice and can be cream, yellow, or brown-orange. Some individuals present a reddish-brown marking on top of the eyelid.</paragraph>
