On the head and neck this stripe is bordered ventrally by a black stripe. Flanks between lateral and dorsolateral light stripes brown flecked sparsely with pale tan. Scapular, suprascapular, and posthumeral region with yellow wash. Dorsal surface of limbs brown with a few lighter flecks. Flanks below lateral light stripe brown with lighter flecks and entire area with yellow wash. Throat and gular region dull white with dark brown small spots. Dark brown line between postmen- tals and sublabials widens to form broad dark brown area on side of neck to the base of the forelimb. Ventral surfaces of belly, limbs, and tail more or less homo- geneous grayish tan/brown without mark- ings. Most females are very similar to that just described. The dorsolateral and ven- trolateral stripes are constant features. Several adult females (, MCZ 182233) had a veiy light rosy or coppery sheen on the belly and a yellow wash on the ventral surfaces of the hindlimbs. One female (MUSM-JEC 12923) had a bright rusty red color from the posteroventral comer of the eye to just behind the ear and e.\- tending below the ventrolateral stripe on the neck and anteriorly along the infrala- bials. This peculiar female coloration is in- dicative of a gravid condition in some oth-.
