The pale middorsal stripe narrows anteriorly on the first six or seven scales involved in the stripe in LSUMZ 21770 and USNM 559707 and begins on the fourth scale row posterior to the parietals in SMF 86171 and USNM 559707. The pale middorsal stripe involves the vertebral row and only the adjacent one-third of the paravertebral rows in SMF 86170–71 and USNM 578390. The pale nuchal collar is incomplete in LSUMZ 21770 and SMF 86171, being divided by dark brown on the median scale row. The dark pigment on supralabials 6–7 narrows dorsally and does not contact the dark head cap in USNM 570459, 578390, or does not narrow dorsally and broadly contacts the dark head cap in SMF 86170–71 and USNM 559707.

(LSUMZ 21770): “The dorsal ground color is brown. The middorsal light stripe is gold and occupies the middorsal scale row and adjacent halves of the paravertebral rows. The lateral light stripe is gold and occupies the adjacent halves of scale rows 3 and 4. Each light stripe is outlined on both sides by a dark brown stripe occupying one-half of one scale in each case (A dark stripe, therefore is present on the lower half of scale row 3, upper half of scale row 4, and the lower half of scale row 7.), and both light stripes extend to the end of the tail. In addition, a dark brown stripe is present on the upper half of scale row 1; the lower half is reddish orange. The venter is also reddish orange except for the cream on the neck region. The head is dark brown above. The rostral is yellow with a brown central blotch. Most of the nasal scale, all of the first supralabial, the anterior two-thirds of the second supralabial, and the anteroventral corner of the third supralabial are yellow. A yellow postocular spot occupies the posterior one-half of the fourth supralabial, all of the fifth, the anterior one-half of the seventh, the lower postocular, and the anterolateral corner of the anterior temporal. The collar is yellow and is divided medially by dark brown pigment occupying one dorsal scale. The collar expands laterally to cover the last supralabial and is about one to one and one-half scales wide. The chin is cream with brown pigment present on the posterior border of the third infralabial and the medial portion of the fourth infralabial.”

(USNM 578389) was found by raking through leaf litter at the base of a tree buttress in primary broadleaf rainforest during July. Upon discovery, the snake moved rapidly into adjacent leaf litter in an attempt to escape. Three others (USNM 559707, 570459, 578390) were crawling on the ground during the day in open pine savanna during August, October, and November. The Tánsin specimen (LSUMZ 21770) was beneath a pine tree stump in pine savanna during July. The two SMF specimens were taken in broadleaf rainforest during July. Both the broadleaf rainforest and pine savanna areas are technically in the Lowland Moist Forest formation of
