Head with black cephalic-cap covering parietals, frontal, prefrontals, internasals, rostral, preoculars, postoculars and from first to fourth supralabial scales, may reach up to the first dorsal scales. Some specimens may have a narrow white strip separating this region's red hooded head post parietal. Prefrontal scales with white mark. Black cap separated from first white body ring by four to six dorsal scales. Laterally, head black from first to third supralabials and postocular, with black coloration including upper portion of fourth supralabial; head red from fourth supralabial until first white body ring, with most scales black tipped. In some specimens this red region is interrupted ventrally with prolonged white coloration on the gular region; anterior region of chinshields white, irregularly marked with black (including infralabial scales); posterior chinshields region mostly black; in some specimens red ring incomplete ventrally by invasion of white pigment on gular and first ventral scales; black body rings (three to four dorsal scales in length) followed by narrow white rings (0.5 scale in length) with black tipped scales and wider red rings (four to six dorsal scales in length); tricolor tail with black rings (four to six dorsal scales in length) followed by narrow white rings (0.5 scale in length), and red rings with same width or narrower than black rings. Ventrally red rings on the tail are incomplete.

Both hemipenes were everted in situ. Fully everted but partially expanded right hemipenis is slender, deeply bilobed and non-capitate. Sulcus spermaticus deep, bifurcated at base of lobes and running centripetally along lobes and reaching apexes; long lobes (about 40% of total hemipenial length), tapering distally into pointed tips; distal half of lobes ornamented by small to medium-sized spines densely arranged in irregular longitudinal rows, decreasing in size toward apex of lobes; proximal half of lobes less densely ornamented by dispersed larger and slender spines; lobular spines thinner and more numerous on the asulcate side of the organ; distal half of hemipenial body ornamented by small, irregularly arranged, spines, gradually increasing in size proximodistally; proximal region of hemipenis naked, except for presence of large basal pocket, extending along most of lateral surface of hemipenial body; asulcate surface of hemipenial body with spines restricted near lobes bifurcation.
