): Dorsal surface of the head is primarily yellowish brown with dark brown patches forming a reticulation pattern. Dark brown chevron marking on the nape. On the lateral side of the head, a prominent dark brown stripe runs from the snout to the eye passing through below the eye, terminating just above the ear opening. Ventral side of the head off white in colour without any markings. Dorsum yellowish brown with dark brown markings often bordered by white patches. Three dark brown stripes extend from behind the chevron marking of the nape to the axillary region. Dark brown blotches forming a pair runs along the body from just behind axilla to the groin. A total of seven pairs of such blotches are present. Ventral surface of the body off white in colour without any markings. Three fourth of the tail regenerated without any features.
