Overall coloration mostly olive-green with yellowish shades; grayish on legs and some dorsal areas. Females somewhat more grayish colored than males. Supralabial scales white colored in both sexes. Usually, lower body flanks more yellow in males than in females. Males and females with a dark brown (almost black) stripe that runs along head sides and neck, from which it becomes a less conspicuous and bifurcate dorsolateral zone that reach the tail base. Another brown stripe is on lower flanks. Middorsum almost plain colored, with either vertebral series of small, chevron like patterns, pairs of brown spots, or small papilionaceus figures. Parietal area of head with a chevron like or an X-shaped brown pattern weakly evident, followed by a pair of dark spots near the occiput. Legs with small brown spots or reticulations. The belly is gray or tan. Tail dorsally unpatterned, or with a pale series of rhombs slightly evident. Adult males tend to have a dark brown tail on the ventral surface, with some pinkish patches. Frequently, males also exhibit regenerated areas of skin on body (probably from territorial encounters), which appear as grey patches (see the head of male in

Two males were seen fighting during the midday on fig roots at Cueva Ambrosio. One of these males (MNHNCu 4666) easily lost pieces of head skin when handled during the collection. Most of the individuals exposed on limestone surfaces were always very close to small holes that serve as refuge, or were partially hidden within them. When collected, some males produced croaking distress calls. Many females were gravid, with a single egg easily seen trough the ventral skin. Three of them laid white, oval eggs in isolated terraria, all firmly attached to the inner surfaces of bamboo tubes offered as shelters (
