Starting behind the dark neck patch are 29 dark bands along the body that are somewhat rhomboidal to inverted-triangle in shape, and nine bands on the tail. The dark body bands range between 14 dorsal scales in length and are faint on the dorsum near the vertebral scale row and more prominent on the lower flanks and edges of the ventrals. The venter is beige and bears, dark lateral blotches from the extensions of the dorsal bands that meet the ventral scales as well as scattered dark spots the entire length of the body and tail. The thin vertebral stripe is cream.
