Some specimens have apparent scars on the dorsum. There is a brown blotch with a white line on the upper margin on heels and cloacal region. There are several vertical brown bars on flanks and transversal brown bars on the thighs. White coloration predominates along all the ventral surfaces, with strong orange or pinkish tones on the belly, arms, and thighs. In some specimens, the dorsal brown bars of the thighs are projected on the internal portion. The tarsus has two colorations delimited by the tarsal fold. The outer portion of the tarsus has a brown coloration with orange tones, while the internal portion has orange coloration.
