B), dorsum dark lavender with a strong pinkish tinge, pale brown on last tenth of body, darker dorsum colour stops abruptly just approximately halfway down flank, from CM to almost posterior tip. Venter paler lavender with pinkish tinge, somewhat translucent. Head almost same colour as body; TAs in whitish spots that extend back as narrower pale stripes to expected position of eyes; nares, lips and snout tip whitish; lower jaw with whitish V separated from whitish margins of lips. In preservation, colour similar except less lavender and more grey dorsally and more tan ventrally; top of head slightly darker grey than body; pale grey border on lower lip; nares in broad whitish blotches; pale areas at CMs. Additionally, AGs faintly indicated and somewhat variable; pale, giving way to slightly darker very narrow aglandular posterior margins of annuli. Disc surrounding vent unpigmented; unpigmented patch extends in front of disc for a little more than half the length of the disc. Tongue unpigmented.

A small, seemingly aglandular area of skin lies anterior and adjacent to disc except in BNHS 5497, BNHS 5507 and SDB.DU 1406. Venter somewhat paler, dark midventral line apparent only on middle third of SDB.DU 5503, very pale blotches anteriorly on venter of BNHS 5505, some specimens with sporadic paler markings on dorsum, with abruptness of transition from dorsal to ventral colour somewhat variable. In BNHS 5504, spots surrounding TAs do not extend back to eye. Pale edges and aglandular darker bands of AGs less obvious in some specimens. Width, distinctiveness and continuity of white V and paler grey V on lower jaw very variable. Some specimens with slightly pale snout tip.
