Mean values and standard deviations of morphological characters that in combination can be used to distinguish C. cardamomensis sp. nov. from both C. macrops s.s. and C. rubeus sp. nov. Observed values have a 95% probability of falling within ± 1.96 x SD of the mean, hence this is a more useful measure than the range. LHEAD is adjusted to the grand mean size of SVL (48.72 cm) in females and DEYE to the grand mean size of LHEAD (22.45, 25.45 mm) in males and females respectively. Cm = C. macrops s.s., Cc = C. cardamomensis, Cr = C. rubeus. Character abbreviations are explained in Appendix 1. Entries in bold identify the taxa which that character helps to discriminate from C. cardamomensis (e.g. BTWSUPOC can be used to discriminate both C. macrops and C. rubeus from C. cardamomensis while DV19to17 is only useful to discriminate C. rubeus from C. cardamomensis)." pageId="2" pageNumber="3">2</tableCitation>

Interstitial skin bright blue, black banding sometimes on anterior body, scales here have narrow edging of black pigment at base. Tail solid brick red, to vent on dorsal surface, approximately one-third (male) to half (female) distance to the vent on ventral surface. Eye golden yellow in both sexes.

Sexual dimorphism is not very obvious in coloration. Females never have postocular stripes, but they may be only indistinct white streaks in males. The lateral white stripe may be much more prominent in males. Females have relatively shorter tails and fewer subcaudals (
