The specimen ZSIC 25945 was asymmetrical in the number of supralabials on each side; the right side had eight while the left side had seven supralabials. Also the post nasal was absent on the right side but present on the left side. In this case the prefrontals were well separated from one another. Thus, it shows that both the characters (number of supralabials and prefrontals in contact with one another) could not be used to differentiate this species. It had 26 scale rows around the body, compared to

Dorsum was grayish brown. There was a dark stripe extending from rostral to eye and then going beyond the eye to the front of the shoulder (fig. 5). Posterior to the eye, the edges of the stripe are dark. Two distinct broad stripes extended from the second supraocular to behind the neck. The dark bands are approximately two scales wide on the torso. There was a series of black spots along the lateral side of the body extending from the forelimbs to the tail and then going further down the tail. Belly colour is pale bluish. Rostral, supralabials, infralabials and mental are light yellow in color. Palm and sole are brown in color.
