The head shape is also considerably distorted from preservation. The dorsal coloration of the specimen is pale bluish-grey. At least 21 irregular crossbands are clearly visible. However, it is difficult to count the total number of crossbands due to discoloration in the posterior half of the specimen. Unlike vouchers 19 GNK 001, 19 GNK 003, and 19 GNK 004, distinct postocular bands are not present. Overall, the supra- and infralabials have beige coloration with small dark brown spots. Except for the anteriormost portion, the ventral surface of the specimen is largely greenish-grey in color. There are black markings running down the center of the ventral scales. These markings expand in the posterior 2 / 3 of the body, where the ventral surface appears almost black in color.</p><p>Scalation and morphology.</p><p>Supralabials 8 / 7 (left / right).

When viewed from the lateral side, the postocular bands are dark brown in coloration. The supra- and infralabials are immaculate and have light brown / pale orange coloration.

The dorsal coloration of the specimen is brownish-grey.

When viewed from the lateral side, the postocular bands are pale brownish-grey in color. The supra- and infralabials are immaculate and light beige in color. The ten anteriormost ventrals are immaculate and beige in coloration. However, small black and dark grey markings are visible on the remaining ventrals.
