Meristic and morphometric data of two adult males and one adult female are given in Appendix 2 &amp; 3. The examined specimens agree with each other in general morphology and scalation. The examined female specimen (CESL 037) is slightly larger in size and has much smaller nuchal spines, compared to the males, almost equal to the dorsal spines.

Individuals were mostly seen perching on shrubs, bushes and on trees near edges of forests. In some instances, it has also been observed near villages and within plantations. During this study, it was never recorded from primary evergreen forests. In some sites, they might occur syntopically in the same habitat as
