Dorsum and forehead light golden-brown; head patterned; torso with distinct black lines; venter, including gular region unpatterned yellowish-ivory. Head scales from frontoparietals to nuchals bordered throughout with dark brown with the median being marked variably as follows: faint minute brown spots clumped together looking like a single brown spot in the middle of the frontonasals and prefrontals, two brown spots on frontoparietals, one large inverted ‘V’ shaped spot on the frontal, unequal horizontal bar like markings on the parietals, interparietal has four brown spots in the middle, nuchals with horizontal bars and spots. Each scale on the dorsum and sides has dark brown margin, due to which the animal’s dorsum seems lined with 12 light goldenbrown bands flanked by 13 dark brown bands. The bands start from the ear openings on the sides and after nuchals on the dorsum. The lateral-most dark bands on the sides starting from the ear opening are the thinnest; the first dark band above the ear opening is the widest; the second dark band above the ear opening bifurcates in to two at an angle of attachment of the forelimbs. The vertebral band is the lighter band. The banding fades from the attachment of the hindlimbs to the mid of the tail. The posterior part of tail is light golden-brown. Dorsal surfaces of limbs pale golden-brown, scales bear pale brown borders. Undersurface of body, limbs and tail creamish-ivory. Tongue grey.
