Iris reddish copper, lighter around pupil, with dark marks anteriorly and posteriorly that are confluent with the lateral head stripe; pupil large and rounded with slight angles above and below.

Limbs with transverse dark brownish bars (five on forelimbs and seven on hind limbs) interspersed with indistinct light spots; digits paler, brownish with darker spots. Original tail light grey to blackish with 7–8 narrow lighter vertical bars; regenerated distal sections of tail more uniform, sometimes with a lighter tip.
