• This elegant snake is brown or dark green above with a yellow stripe on the lower half running the length of the body.
• The belly is yellow to whitish with four dark stripes running lengthwise.
• The scales are keeled and the anal plate, that scale on the belly just forward of the vent, is divided.
• Three additional dark stripes run down the back, but are difficult to see except in specimens that have recently shed or in juveniles.
