Two well-developed pairs of postmentals, inner pair broadly in contact with each other and considerably larger than the outer pair. Ventrolateral folds indistinct, about 35–41 scale rows present across venter. Enlarged scansors on all digits, one to two proximal scansors and one distal scansor, undivided, rest divided; 11–13 (manus) and 10–12 (pes) divided scansors beneath first digit, 13–16 (manus) and 14–17 (pes) beneath fourth digit. 18–23 femoral pores on each thigh, separated by seven or eight poreless scales in males. 11–17 supralabials and 9–14 infralabials. Tail depressed, broadly swollen at the base, oval in transverse section without a median dorsal furrow; scales on the tail weakly imbricate, slightly larger than dorsals of body; ventral scales of tail large and imbricate, separated by medial row of transversely enlarged and regularly arranged subcaudal plates.

Dorsum brown to russet brown. Five irregular sets of wavy duller brown-grey bands transversely bordered by olive-black dots present between shoulder and sacrum. Fifth band starts at the distal end of the thigh, broader and incomplete, not adjoining the medial. The transverse bands are discrete, irregular in shape and size, and appear more or less wavy in shape with olive to black crenulations in the mid portions of the markings. A pale brown to light greyish brown mid-vertebral line is evident at the broadest portion of the body, situated medially between the transverse markings. The medial space between the transverse bands lighter, with black mottled markings distributed randomly all over the body. Occiput with horizontal band and two diagonal bands, discontinuous and blotched with dark grey-brown mottling at the edges. Crown with numerous light cream to grey blotches, irregular in size and shaped randomly arranged at the periphery and posteromedial portion of the interorbital and postorbital regions. Labials and infra-orbital regions are with pale greyish mottling. Limbs lighter russet brown with light brown annulations, irregular in size extending up to the digits. Digits with light greyish markings alternating with base colouration speckled along the limbs. Tail similar in colour and pattern to body dorsum, with pale grey markings interspersed with pale brown base colour with black margins at the edges. Regenerated portion of the tail paler compared to the body, with dark brown zig-zag patterns and mottling.

The colouration of the dorsum is various shades of brown, from a light olive-brown to a deeper russet brown. The characteristic irregular wave shaped bands on the dorsum and tail are less prominent, faded in appearance towards the laterals. Mid-vertebral line is prominent and wheat-coloured. Bands on fore- and hindlimbs less prominent and appear faded. Original tail distinctly similar to the body with dark wheat brown colour. Regenerated portion of the tail is faded with no distinct markings.
