Most of the dorsal head scales as well as the dorsal body scales have dark edges. The sides of the head are white to slightly yellow. The granules on the eyelids and the scales surrounding the eye are shiny yellow. The dorsum is pale grey, and in some parts fades to a pale yellow or pale green with hardly any special markings, except for some slightly darker saddle blotches. The body parts above and behind the insertion of the front legs are almost as shiny yellow as the granules of the eyelids. The dorsal surface of the limbs is pale grey-green and of the tail white-grey. The tail is ringed with 12 darker grey bands, with each band being 10-13 scales in width, and thus of the same width as the ground coloured interspaces. The bands are indistinct at the beginning but become more distinct towards the tip. The chin scales, gular fan, venter and ventral surface of the limbs are white.</paragraph>

Scales around the midbody vary between 131-149 and the vertebral scale number from behind the occiput to the level of the posterior edge of the thigh varies between 202-215. The rostral scale is posteriorly bordered by 2-4 scales and exhibits 1-4 posterior sutures that do not completely divide the rostral. There are three scales across the snout between the second canthals. There are three to four canthals between the nasal and the superciliaries. The supraorbital semicircles consist of 9-10 scales, and are separated medially by one to two rows of scales. Superciliaries 9-13 and supraocularies 13-17. In 4 paratypes, the nasal was in contact with the second supralabial, and in one specimen it was separated from the labials by small scales.

Most dorsal head scales as well as dorsal body scales have dark edges. The sides of the head are pale green-grey to white in the region anterior to the eye, and pale peach-coloured in the temporal region. There is a dark stripe from the posterior margin of the eye, reaching below the supratemporals to the level of the ear opening. The labials and suboculars are mostly white and the dorsum is pale mint green with 6 brown to peach-coloured saddle blotches, 16-29 scales in width, being widest on the middorsal part and tapering towards the flanks. The dorsum is spotted black. There is a mint colour grading into pale peach-colour on the sides of the neck and flanks. The dorsal surface of the forelimbs is mint green and of the hindlimbs, it is peach-coloured intermixed with some mint scales. Both front and hindlimbs are spotted black. The ground colour of the tail is pale beige with 12 darker brownish bands, 10-18 scales in width. The venter, chin scales, gular fan, and limbs are white to whitish-grey.</paragraph>

On ventral surface, chin scales and gular fan are shiny yellow, and in some parts, spotted with white (Fig. 2E); one gravid female (ZFMK 91764) has pale green chin scales and pale orange gular fan.
