Each palmar surface is covered with five huge and swollen pads while each plantar surface is covered with 6 very large and extremely bulbous pads (Fig. 3). Tail is slim, round in cross-section, gray in dorsal and lateral surfaces, whitish (un-pigmented) in ventral surface. The tail length is significantly longer than head-body length (adult: 113-129%, juvenile: 149%). Skull is elongated with narrow rostrum and wide braincase.
