This is variable among specimens, but the most common colouration is as follows: Mid-dorsal stripe either broken or continuous. If continuous, only to base of tail. Dorsal surface mid to dark brown, usually with light and dark flecking, 6 scale rows wide, grading into pale dorsolateral stripe extending from behind head to base of tail, becoming indistinct thereafter. This pale stripe is bordered below by a ½ scale row wide dark brown band, below that a 12 scale wide lighter brown row, notched on upper and lower edges, running from behind nostril through eye towards base of tail becoming indistinct thereafter. This band sometimes has paler speckles in it. Then a darker brown band 12 half-scales wide. This lower dark brown band is bordered below by a pale stripe, 1 to 2 half-scale rows wide running from below the eye, through the ear, above the limbs to become indistinct after the hindlimbs. This band is broken above forelimbs and bounded below by a very broken light brown band breaking up into a ventral speckling. Soles of feet grey/black. Belly yellow or cream, usually speckled with darker flecks. Throat pale. Outer surface of forelimbs brown, speckled with light and dark.
