Though very closely allied to the preceding, this species differs by 

 a much smaller size (a gravid female measuring only 120 millim. 

 from snout to vent), a smaller occipital shield, a cylindrical or 

 feebly compressed tail, and smaller scales ; these form fifty to fifty- 

 six longitudinal series. The adpressed limbs meet in the male, but 

 not in the female and young. Olive-grey above, spotted or irre- 

 gularly cross-barred with brown above, or brown, spotted with 

 olive-grey ; frequently a light streak along the middle of the nape ; 

 throat frequently marbled with brown.
