Head shorter than in T. sexUneatus. A series of granules between 

 the supraoculars and the supraciliaries ; a small shield separates the 

 large anterior supraocular from the loreal ; temporal scales obtusely 

 keeled. Dorsal shields very variable in number and in size, very 

 strongly keeled ; they usually form six to eight series, of which the 

 median are as a rule the smallest : sometimes only five series on the 

 posterior half of the body ; eight or ten series of large ventrals, 

 which are either all strongly keeled or only the outer rows ; two to 

 four longitudinal rows of smaller keeled shields on each side of the 

 ventrals. One or two inguinal pores on each side. Greenish or 

 brownish above, with or without a light black-edged dorso-lateral 

 band as in T. sexUneatus ; a more or less distinct light streak from 

 below the eye to the shoulder, sometimes extending along the side 

 of the body ; lower surfaces yellowish or greenish.
