The body was bronze-brown dorsally, becoming greenish on the sides. The ventrals were pale bluish white and the lower jaw and sides of the neck were bright yellowish green in life. There were two black stripes on the head, each one scale wide, starting on the third supraocular and adjacent edge of frontal scale and extending parallel to each other, to the level of 13th vertebral scale (fig. 2). Additionally, there was a lateral black stripe about two scale rows wide starting on the posterior part of anterior loreal, passing through the eye,

and extending to the level of 13th vertebral scale along the side of the neck (fig. 3). The lateral and dorsal stripes did not meet. There were no black cross-bands on the neck. The body had seven broken black cross-bands, each of which was one scale wide (fig. 4). Each black scale had a white spot on its posterior edge. These bands were present only on the dorsal and lateral parts of the body and did not continue around the belly. The tail had more than eight similarly colored bands.
