One adult & and five young. In light phase no throat pattern is discernable,
but in dark phase the pattern of vermiform spots is evident.
The adult female is pale reddish-tan with
no pattern discernable on the back. Even
the tibial bars are faint. One of the young
is very similar to the adult. Two others
are darker brown, with contrasting reddish
lateral folds but little dorsal
pattern. Another is dark greenish-brown
with diffuse spotting visible on the back.
