A few radiating spotted lines extend from tympanic region to insertion of forelimb. A spotted line on lateral side of head from nostril to preocular, continuing beyond orbit to nearly two-thirds along the length of tail. Upper and lower palpebral series lemon yellow in colour, except at anterior and posterior corners of eye. Iris and pupil not clearly discernible. Head scales edged with black spots. Dorsum golden brown (Gamboge colour no. E49B0F), except at dorsal margin of lateral line, which is lighter. Four faintly spotted lines on dorsum, two along each side of vertebral row of scales, that continue to tail base; dorsum of tail darker than that of trunk at midbody; sides of head from snout to auricular depression, to below orbit cream coloured, gradually becoming pink around midbody between posterior margin of forelimb to anterior margin of hindlimb; yellowish near tail base. Flanks freckled with brownish-black longitudinal spots that are denser towards hindlimb than immediately behind forelimb. Dorsal surface of forelimb and hindlimb heavily spotted and appear dark. Gulars to 17th ventral scale cream-coloured and devoid of dark spots. Starting from 18th ventral row of scales, colour abruptly becomes bright lemon yellow until preanal scales or ventral margin of tail base. Yellow spots more dense in midregion of ventral scales, gradually becoming non-pigmented at scale boundary. Ventral side of forelimbs less spotted and pale pink in colour, ventral side of hindlimbs lemon yellow, with marginally more brownish-black spots. Toe lamellae of both limbs dark, unspotted. Preanal region, a light shade of pink, gradually fading to white and turning cobalt blue towards tail tip; venter of tail with brownish-black flecks, becoming denser apically.</paragraph>
