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,
