Upper surfaces of head and body extremely variable with dark red, light green, and black marbling. In some specimens the red predominates but in others the green and black are more extensive. In one specimen (USNM 563632) a bold, wide, pure orange stripe runs from the tip of the snout to the cloaca; another specimen (USNM 563633) was mostly yellow-green dorsally with four bright red lateral blotches; head olive green, mottled green and black, or with a broad orange medial stripe. Upper lips with red and olive green patches set off by thin yellow green vertical lines; upper arm olive green; lower arm with one or two red and green equally wide crossbands; finger and toe discs dark red to dark gray; upper leg surface with 3 or 4 alternating red and olive green crossbands continuing onto the crus when legs are folded against the body; lower lip not visible in lateral view; throat, belly, and ventral surfaces of arms and legs mottled in cream and black except in the specimen with the bold middorsal stripe which had a cream colored, midventral longitudinal stripe; upper 2/5 of iris blue-gray against the sclera, changing to metallic brown around and below the iris. No color changes were noted between day and night.
