C) note the color in life to be as follows: “Dorsum with four broad chocolate brown bands with irregular edges. Interspaces lighter brown with dark brown spots; limbs same. Venter light yellow brown with heavy peppering of dark brown scales on chest and belly and under limbs. Several dark brown spots on chin and throat. Iris light brown. Tongue pale peach with a pink tip. Cloacal lining burnt orange. Lamellae and palms gray, soles black. Chocolate brown bands edged with darker brown spots and also contain darker brown spots internally. No light edging to dark bands.” Color photos of this specimen also show it to have a number of scattered white tubercles on the sides and limbs. One specimen (BPBM 19728) was noted to have a darker brown iris and some cream tubercles on the side. Other specimens were noted to have the venter and sides washed with ochre. The venter of most specimens is most aptly described as ochre and mauve, with one color predominating in some specimens, and the second in others. Two additional specimens (BPBM 19732–33) were noted to have the tongue colored peach and pink, while a third had only a pale pink tongue (BPBM 19731). The cloacal linings of all were noted to be either burnt orange or bright yellow orange in color. Irises of all were rich brown but rarely as light as seen in BPBM 19727.

Color pattern includes either four (n = 7) or five (n = 11) dark dorsal bands (including the nuchal chevron), all of which have black edges that are further margined in light tan. These margins often appear erose because they may be broken. The dark bands contrast well with the lighter ground color in all except the darkest specimens. Most specimens clearly have small dark spots or blotches scattered in the light ground color, but spots may not be apparent in those specimens with the darkest ground color. Venters are typically dirty white or light purple-brown and heavily speckled with darker purple-brown, giving the venter a characteristically freckled appearance. One specimen (BPBM 19734), however, has a virtually uniformly light yellow-white venter. Posterior supralabials are white mottled with purple-brown; in a few cases, the purplebrown color predominates.</paragraph>
