Inter-orbital region with a scattering of dark spots, with a distinct dark blotch bordering the supraciliary region on either side.

Regenerated portion of tail uniformly greyish throughout with a scattering of darker longitudinal streaks. Ventral region cream coloured with a scattering of three to five dark spots on each ventral scale. Ventral surface of tail pale, with scattered mid-brown speckling in the hemipenial region followed by alternating pale-dark bands up to the regenerated portion.
