Based on photographs and field notes the dorsal coloration in life varies from quite dark chestnut brown to light grey, and the pattern of extensive but indistinct orange, greyish and brown mottling also varies in intensity. However much of this variation appears to be temporal, and single specimens vary extensively in appearance over short timescales (several hours) (
