He writes "An interesting specimen. The species exhibits considerable variation in the dorsal groundcolour. The original specimen described from SE Queensland / northern NSW, was light brown. Other specimens are darker brown; some have a slight greenish-blue cast overlaying the ground colour, and some a more yellowish cast. The basic dorsal, lateral (sometimes faint as in this specimen), and ventral stripe patterns remain constant."
