Dorsum green or brown (in metachrosis); juveniles with finely lineate dorsal pattern, lines composed of series of light spots intermittently fused; spots more distinct on sides and hazier on middorsal zone; head and tail also spotted; throat with dark lines; adults lose much of this pattern, resulting in linear series of spots on neck and middorsum, becoming vermiculate on head; spots usually yellowish in green phase (bluish in large males), white in brown phase; venter white; dewlap pale orange with white scales (Schwartz & Henderson 1991: 290). |
