. Dorsal ground color brown throughout; a series of small dark brown dorsovertebral spots from the nuchals to the base of the tail. Dorsolateral line broad near head, from posterior midline of ear to nuchal region tapering irregularly on ventral margin to forelimb; bordered anteriorly by a tan line one scale wide that irregularly breaks the dorsolateral band with small half circles of dorsal color; dark brown dorsolateral line blends into flanks becoming lighter and blending in with small white flecks. Anterior to the forelimb and ventral to the dorsolateral line is some brown ticking that continues around the gular region. The ground color of the gular and ventral region is cream. The mental, postmental, infralabials scale margins have a concentration of brown flecks that blend in with the gular streaks. The ventrum from the gular region posteriorly and the ventral side of limbs are all cream without any markings. Distal portion of ventral tail has some brown ticking. Dorsal aspect of limbs dark brown with random tan spots that decrease in size and increase in frequency towards the solar surface of the feet. Coloration in life unrecorded.
