). The dorsal background color is medium brown, with pronounced mottling of various shades of brown. Three longitudinal rows of cream spots, ringed with darker brown, start just behind the head and run the length of the body with faint light brown longitudinal stripes between. Spotting and striping fade into a solid medium brown color approximately halfway down the tail. On the lateral surface of the body, spots merge to become indistinct perpendicular cream stripes, with mottled medium brown between. This pattern fades indistinctly into the solid cream present on the ventral surface. The distinctive forelimb spot is pronounced and continues nearly to the first joint. Otherwise, the mottled pattern present on the dorsal surface of the body continues down the dorsal surface of the fore- and hind limbs. The ventral surface of the limbs is a solid cream, with the exception of very faint light brown mottling present on the hands and feet. The solid ventral cream color of the body extends to about halfway down the length of the tail, then transitions to thin medium brown perpendicular stripes. The stripes become increasingly close together as they approach the tail tip, which is a solid medium brown. The dorsal surface of the head is mottled the same as the dorsal surface of the body, with various shades of brown. Three small cream spots are arranged in a triangle on the head just posterior to the eyes. A series of distinct cream spots are visible on the labial scales, one row on the supralabial series and one on the infralabial series. A slightly lighter brown mottling occurs just below the eye and is present between the spots. The ventral surface of the head and body are solid cream in color.
