It can be distinguished from the other species by the following characters: brown saddle-shaped dorsal blotches outlined by a lighter halo and light brown background color. Dorsal rows in 19-17-17 or 17-17-17, 229-263 ventral scales, 141-173 subcaudal scales, and 8-12 infralabials ( Missassi & Prudente, 2015).
