Same as other congeners, body surfaces of the snake are iridescent. The background coloration of the dorsal head is neutral gray. Faint yellow patterns are unevenly sprinkled on the dorsal and lateral surfaces of head and body; and such sprinkled patterns form solid yellow patches at the center of ventrolateral body scales as well as head scales (including rostral, internasal, nasal, prefrontal, loreal, supraocular, supralabrial, infralabial, and anterior temporal scales). A distinct, faint yellow, collar pattern are present on each side of the neck, which are not connected medially or ventrally. Background coloration of remaining surfaces of the dorsal and lateral body is reddish brown. Two black-edged, dark reddish orange, dorsolateral strips are present on the body from the neck to the tip of tail, one on each side. Ventral surface of the head is mostly uniform cream color; ventral surfaces of neck and the first one-fifth portion of the body are faint yellowish, with a single somewhat distinct yellow transverse streak across each individual ventral scale. Ventral coloration transition to uniform faint orange gradually toward posterior direction (
