The anterior most dorsal blotch is occasionally in contact with a light–colored nuchal loop, although the nuchal loop is not always present. Dorsal blotches extend along the tail, becoming ring–like although not fully encircling the tail and occasionally chevron–shaped. There are 6–8 pairs of light– colored, small, irregular bars or spots along the flanks between limb insertions. The dorsum has scattered dark brown or black flecking. Limbs are colored as dorsum with irregular white or light gray blotches and dark brown to black flecking. Multiple white or light gray, irregular blotches on the head interspersed with dark brown or black flecks and vermiculations. Two whitish, parallel stripes extend from the rostrum to the eye on each side of the head. One is an unbroken stripe from nare to eye while the other is broken and spotty and runs from the nasals to above the orbit. A light–colored nuchal loop is present in some individuals although it is often broken and irregular. Ventral coloration is whitish with occasional, small, dark brown or black speckles under the chin and belly.
