Postrostral kite-shaped, 1.3 X wider than long, in narrow contact anteriorly with rostral, broad contact anterolaterally with anterior internasal and posterolaterally with supranasal on each side, and narrow contact posteriorly with posterior internasals. Anterior internasals approximately as wide as, and slightly shorter than, postrostral, each in contact laterally with first supralabial and nasal, and posteriorly with postrostral and supranasals. Supranasals 1.2 X wider than long, obliquely oriented, separated medially from each other by postrostral. Posterior internasals larger than supranasals, obliquely oriented, each in broad contact laterally with supranasal and upper postnasal, posterolaterally with canthal, and posteriorly with frontonasal. Frontonasal 1.5 X wider than long, in contact laterally with canthal on either side and posteriorly with prefrontals. Prefrontals 1.2 X wider than long, in narrow and broad contact laterally with canthal and cantholoreal, respectively; in contact posteriorly with first median supraocular, one small scale between first median supraocular and frontal, and frontal. Frontal 2.1 X longer than wide, in contact laterally with one small scale between prefrontal and second median supraocular, second and third median supraoculars, and frontoparietal on either side, and posteriorly with interparietal. Frontoparietals approximately as wide as long, each in contact laterally with third and fourth median supraoculars, posterolaterally with upper primary temporal, and posteriorly with parietal. Median supraoculars 5/5; first 1.9 X longer than wide; second as wide as long; third, fourth, and fifth 1.2–1.6 X wider than long; lateral supraoculars 3/3, much smaller than median supraoculars. Interparietal 1.3 X longer than wide, kite-shaped, enclosed by frontoparietals, parietals, and interoccipital; pineal eye poorly defined, situated on its posterior half. Parietals 1.1 X longer than interparietal, in contact anterolaterally with upper primary temporal, posterolaterally with a larger upper temporal (presumably representing fused upper secondary and upper tertiary temporals), posteriorly with occipital, and posteromedially with interoccipital. Two rows of postoccipitals; transverse scale rows on each side of postoccipitals extending laterally to upper margin of ear.

Head immaculate dorsally and laterally except for one dark brown spot on anteroventral corner of lower primary temporal scale on each side, one dark scale on temporal region on right side, and another one on nuchal region on left side. Body with eight dark, dorsal cross-bands; one at level of midneck and seven between levels of anterior insertion of arms and groin; cross-bands heterogeneous; their midsection narrower and paler than lateral sections, composed of two or three often fragmented rows of intermingled white, pale brown, or dark brown scales; their lateral sections wider, overall darker, usually composed of 2– 4 (occasionally 5) short scale rows checkered with white, dark brown, and black scales; cross-bands separated from each other by 2–3 transverse scale rows. Lateral fold white; vertical dark bars indiscernible except for few (<5), barely perceptible, poorly defined bars on each side. Thighs with few, small, irregular dark spots on anterodorsal surface. Tail with four dark, dorsal cross-bands on anterior end; first at level of posterior insertion of legs, remaining ones separated from each other by two scale rows; each cross-band composed of three scale rows checkered with white, pale brown, and dark brown scales; first cross-band conspicuous; remaining ones gradually becoming fainter posteriorly. Ventral surface of head, body, limbs, and tail immaculate white except for some irregular, scattered black flecks on belly.

Usually, the mark consisted of a dark brown spot on the anteroventral corner of the lower primary temporal (gradually becoming diffuse on the rest of the scale) that extended anteriorly through the lower postocular, then narrowed into a thin line along the dorsal margin of the suboculars, and broadened again into a diffuse splotch on the upper portion of the preocular. The mark was usually evident on the lower primary temporal and lower postocular, but became barely perceptible on the dorsal margin of the suboculars and upper portion of the preocular in most of the specimens.
