Beige to light grey vertebral stripe most often continuous, relatively narrow and with a strongly scalloped margin; less often broken into a chain of angular vertebral blotches or continuous and straight-edged. Vertebral stripe varies where it terminates on the head, usually expanding to form a pale cap, but sometimes with a weak bifurcation due to an inverted triangle of somewhat darker colouring that may contrast with the more lateral pale colour. Blackish paravertebral margins of vertebral stripe continuous but variable in contrast, from bold and wide to narrow and weakly contrasting with the lateral colouring. Upper lateral zone sometimes irregularly patterned with small, circular spots that lack distinct darker edges. Apart from the above, the upper lateral surfaces have a faintly textured colour pattern made up of a medium to dark background colour with a scattering of weakly contrasting darker and lighter scales. Venter white to greyish-white.</paragraph>

Our study has not made a detailed investigation of this variation as we have not had the tissue samples that would have allowed us to assess their significance (see further comments in discussion). Some variation may show geographic trends, such as a greater frequency of specimens from Qld that have relatively wide, straight-edged dorsal stripe, or coastal NSW specimens with more broken dorsal stripes and greater frequency of lateral spotting.
