. Females in life present basically the same dorsal and lateral pattern as present in males, but females generally have a lighter brown background coloration; vertebral and paravertebral lines are strongly defined, and in both sexes paravertebral lines vary from white to yellow. Ventrally, one male shows a light orange color on the belly, while in other males and all females the ventral region ranged from white to gray due to different degrees of melanism. All distinctive ventral light orange coloration changed to gray in preservative.
