Carapace oval, slightly domed but with a medial keel, widest at level of the posterior buttress spurs of the hypoplastra. Marginal ridge low, central tubercle indistinct. Dorsal surface roughened by longitudinal ridging and smaller protuberances spread over the leathery margin. The yellowish gray carapace is adorned with an extremely complex greenish black pattern consisting of reticulations and stellate spots enclosed by incomplete rings of the same color, finely dotted with siskin green on either side of the vertebral keel, with those above the pelvis being more pronounced but with additional ones towards the perimeter of the bony disk. The ridging of the carapace is enhanced by the siskin green color of the vertebral keel and the longitudinal rows of tubercles.</paragraph>

Two dark patches below the neck along the anterior carapace margin, one oval mark between the epiplastra, one on both sides behind the armpits and continuing towards but not reaching the hyoplastra, as well as on the hyo- and hypoplastra and the xiphiplastra, the latter meeting along the midline but not contacting those covering the hyo- and hypoplastra. Additional blotches at the insertion of the hindlimbs and some vague, bruise-like markings on the bridge and the underside of the leathery margin.</paragraph>

Jaws closed, each covered by fleshy lips except anteriorly where the horny beaks are exposed. Top of head with fine, greenish black specks and streaks.

In some individuals the light blotches framed with black on the sides of the neck intermingle to form wide bands on a yellowish gray (in life yellowish brown) ground (Fig. 2A). The subocular stripes are occasionally reduced to short streaks and vary between two and three in number. Although the dark longitudinal striation on the nape of juveniles dissolves in adults, a central spot typically remains discernible just in front of the marginal ridge.
