. Also noticeable in this image are the lateral blue patches on the venter and orange-red color of the flanks of males. In preservative, the ventral surface darkens considerably, presumably due to fixation in formalin. The dorsal surface of males ranges from weakly patterned to patternless. When patterned, the dorsal surface is marked by a pair of light-colored dorsolateral stripes, one-scale wide, that originates at the posterior margin of ear opening and extends onto the tail. A pale vertebral line, two scale-rows wide, is also present, beginning at the nape of the neck and extending posteriorly to tail. The region between the vertebral and dorsolateral stripe is marked with narrow, dark brown transverse bars on each side; in many individuals, these bars are dimly evident. Females possess lightly mottled throats, some with more mottling than others. The ventral surface of females is very lightly mottled. The dorsal surface of females ranges from strongly patterned to patternless. In strongly patterned individuals, dark transverse bars are sharply defined, often edged posteriorly by white.
