On each side, the line or series of dark spots along the 2nd and 3rd dorsal scale row is feebly visible, but the other lines or spots are conspicuous. The dorsal surface of the head is dark brown and there is a clearly marked dark postocular stripe running from behind the eye to the edge of the mouth (Fig. 6). The ventral surfaces are dingy white, finely speckled with brown pigment that becomes more concentrated towards the tail. The iris is carmine and the pupil is black.</paragraph>
