When originally captured the colouration of this specimen was as follows; dorsum silvery grey with very extensive terracotta mottling and numerous indistinctly edged transverse bands along the dorsum; fore and hindlimbs predominently terracotta with no clear pattern but some silvery flecking; head with similar mottled colouration to the body and distinct silvery loreal and postorbital stripes; regrown tail silvery brown with no clear pattern; supralabials, infralabials and region of venter visible in photographs yellow; iris light olive green and pupil ellipitical with scalloped edges. In photos taken at a later time prior to release the dorsal colouration is greatly faded and mostly silvery grey with a brownish tinge towards the anterior regions and the only clear patterning being a small number of silvery spots and stripes on the head and neck.
