Scales surrounding the eye, small and granular. Tympanum concealed. Canthals and supraciliaries imbricate, forming a laterally protruding supraorbital ridge. Dorsal head and snout scales heterogenous in size, smooth anteriorly, becoming strongly keeled on the supraorbital and occipital region. Those at the rear of the head are slightly domed with a varying number of keels radiating from the center of the scale. Parietal eye oval, longitudinally oriented, clearly visible through the parietal which is subequal in size to contacting scales. Three enlarged, dome shaped scales are situated posterior to the parietal. A single upper and a pair of lower conical temporal spines with numerous keels radiating outwards from the apex of the spine. The upper and anterior most spine is slightly larger than the lower pair, which are in line with but do not contact the three enlarged temporals. A smaller spine is situated at the rear of the jowls.

Ventral scales subimbricate, weakly keeled and arranged in regular rows. 53 MD, subequal in size to the largest dorsals, all with a strong median keel. An additional row of moderately to strongly keeled scales form a continuous dorsolateral ridge from the posterior temporal spines to beyond the insertion of the forearms. A second almost continuous row of keeled scales runs longitudinally on either side of the middorsal scale row. Dorsal scales are heterogenous in size, shape and texture but mainly consist of small flat scales and distinctly larger keeled scales which are variously arranged into five regular, posterior pointing “V” shaped ridges of which the apex is the middorsal scale row. A distinct shallow axillary oblique fold almost reaching the dorsolateral keel. The upper and lower forearms, hands and fingers are covered in longitudinal rows of strongly keeled distally pointed scales, those on the outer surfaces more strongly keeled grading into weakly keeled scales of the inner surfaces. Scales of the hind legs are highly heterogenous and consisting of small weakly keeled scales grading to large trihedral oblique spines. Ventral surfaces of the thigh, tibia, and dorsal and ventral surface of feet with keeled scales forming regular rows. Number of lamellae on the fingers: I(8), II(12), III(19), IV(17), V(12), and 25 4ToeLam. Scales on the tail are strongly keeled ventrally, grading to weakly keeled dorsally. Hemipenal bulge distinctly enlarged.

, the original drawings of Ronald Kaulback show the blue colouration observable in preserved specimens as green in life. Dorsal surface of the head, body to the lower flanks, fore limbs, hind limbs and tail light blue. An oblique stripe extends from the center of the lower eyelid to the rear axis of the upper and lower mandible, white centrally bordered by dark brown. A short dark brown line on the lower half of the dorsolateral keel of the neck. Two parallel thin brown transverse stripes on the dorsal surface of the left forearm and both tibia, an additional thin brown line extends from the proximal spines of the posterior thigh to the base of the tail, not extending as far as the vent. Dorsal “V” shaped keels bordered posteriorly by a thin brown line, the posterior most backed by a lighter, whitish patch on either side of the middorsal keel. Entire ventral surface of the body, throat, tail and limbs is creamy white with dark brown speckling on the chin and torso and a thin brown midventral longitudinal stripe on the chest.

This wool was not removed to determine whether the specimens were entirely gutted or merely stuffed for the purpose of filling the body cavity to provide a more natural appearance to the specimens. All specimens appear to have varying amounts of unsloughed scales, primarily on the head of some but also on the bodies and extremities of others, giving a patchy appearance to the colouration.
