, but they can be associated with their specimen numbers based on scale counts and body measurements. In the single female specimen (KIZ 054176), the distinct nuchal collar and midventral stripe on the tail is absent. The dorsum is brown, becoming darker posteriorly near the tail, with indistinct longitudinal stripes along the edges of the dorsal scales forming a net-like pattern. The venter is immaculate yellow, with the light pigment extending onto the first outer row of dorsal scales.

did not note this feature in his description but stated that the margins of the dorsal scales were often dark brown and continuous, suggesting that there were indistinct stripes as described in these other topotypic specimens. Indeed, the striped pattern is barely visible on some the other topotypic specimens in the KIZ collection due to their state of preservation, and this artefact could have caused Chernov to miss this character when he was writing his description. Another characteristic shared by these specimens is the presence of dark brown margins along the ventral scales, which is shared with ROM 41547.

offer some insight into the live colouration of this species. The specimen agrees with the colour pattern observed in KIZ 054176. However, the dorsum is predominately olive-brown, becoming dark grey-brown posteriorly, with well-defined dark brown longitudinal stripes across the body forming a network-like pattern on the dorsum.

A streak of red pigment forms a small marking posterior to the parietals but is too indistinct to be considered a nuchal collar, as it is nowhere near as pronounced as the markings present in other specimens. Red colouration may have been present on the ventral surface of other topotypic
