Colour pattern is similar in both sexes. The general pattern is characterized by irregularly spread pale-creamy or grey spots on a darker brownish dorsal background. These multiple clear spots are conspicuous between the dorsal area of the head, flanks, dorsal limbs, until the base of the tail, where they disappear gradually on the dorsal tail background. On the neck and fore-back, several black stripes result in a partially greyish background. The dorsal tail shows variations from entirely brown to several alternate rings (20–23) of soft light brown of one scale among dark brown rings of two scales.
