This is a large female with a total length of 1008.3 mm (SVL 935 mm, TaL 148 mm), with indistinct darker dorsal markings and a distinct pale dorsolateral stripe covering 90% of the first scale row and extending onto the second scale row. The upper part of head lacking any paler color, and a postocular stripe is lacking. The ventral surface is paler but darkens towards the infralabials, which are the same color as the upper part of the head. Heavily keeled scales are present on body and head. Only a blunt keel is present on the first scale row adjacent to the ventrals at mid-body, but higher scale rows become progressively more sharply keeled with an obvious ridge at the center of the scale. Temporal scales and scales on the rear of the head are similarly sharply keeled, but scales between the supraoculars are tubercular rather than obviously keeled. Ventrals 161, subcaudals 54; there are 25 scale rows at 14 ventral scales, which is maintained until the 94th ventral scale (thus there are 25 scale rows at mid-body) and reducing to 17 just anterior to the vent. There are 11 supralabials and 14 infralabials on the right side and 10 and 14, respectively, on the left side. There are a minimum of 10 tubercular scales between the supraoculars, with 16 between the inner rear edges of the supraoculars, which are relatively small and undivided. Internasals are separated by one scale; the first supralabial is almost completely fused with the scale surrounding the nostril, with only a small notch on its rear edge; there are 2 small scales between this fused scale and the fused second supralabial and loreal scale, which forms the anterior border of the pit; 1 or 2 scales are present between the supralabials and the subocular, which is bordered by 6 scales on the right and 7 scales on the left side of the head (not including the pre- and post-oculars). There are 2 postoculars and 8 paired chin shields, with the most anterior pair being the largest, between the first infralabials (which meet on the ventral side of the head) and the first ventral (defined as the first undivided scale on the ventral side of the head). The anal scale is entire, and the subcaudals are paired. The upper margin of the rostral scale is 39% the length of the lower margin.

It has a more uniformly colored ventral surface, which is closer to the shade of the dorsal surface, and continues on the head as far as the postocular streak, whereas in the second male, CAS 219783, the head is almost uniformly dark in coloration, being only slightly paler steel gray on the ventral surface and the supralabials. In CAS 212245 (a female), the ventral surface of body and head is distinctly paler, with this paler ventral color continuing onto the infra- and supralabials, but more patchy on the latter, and also appearing in patches on two to three scale rows above the supralabials. The internasals are in contact in both CAS 212245 and CAS 213587 but separated by one scale in CAS 219783. Ventrals are 170 in both CAS 213587 and CAS 212245 but 160 in CAS 219783; subcaudals 72 and 76 in the males and 57 in the female. Supralabials are 10/10 and 11/11 in CAS 213587 and CAS 219783, respectively, and 12/12 in the female CAS 212245, while the corresponding sublabial counts are 11/12, 12/13, and 14/14. While CAS 213587 and CAS 219783 have an almost entirely fused first supralabial and nasal, like the holotype, they lack any scales between this and the fused second supralabial/loreal scale. This scale is also fused only on the right side in CAS 213587. On the other hand, CAS 212245 has two scales between the fused first supralabial and nasal and the fused second supralabial/loreal scale as in the holotype, but the fusion of the first supralabial and nasal scale is only partial, with deep sutures extending towards the center from both sides, leaving only the area immediately below the nostril fused. The head is relatively smaller and narrower in the males, with only 10 (smallest number) and 13 or 14 (between rear edges) cephalic scales between the supraoculars (compared to 12 and 16 in the female, and fewer paired chin shields (6 or 7 compared to 8 in the females). There are 23 scale rows at mid-body and 15 scale rows anterior to the vent in CAS 213587, but 25/17 in the other two specimens.</paragraph>
