species in the genus. Another distinctive feature is the wide central pair of scales under the tail. There are two main colour forms; in lowland regions the body is greyish-buff with a brown reticulated pattern and the tail is boldly striped transversely in black and turquoise-green; in upland areas and on some offshore islands the colour is much darker and may be completely black.

Some individuals change colour during the year, being darker during colder weather. Juveniles have the colouring of a lowland adult but with more vivid tail stripes.
