The colour range includes shades of green, grey, yellow, orange and brown. They usually have two broken longitudinal white/light stripes along the sides, one starting just above the shoulder and one starting just below the shoulder. They can have a somewhat complicated pattern at times consisting of a series of v-shapes along the spine interspersed with spots and splotches. There is a row of conical scales that form a small crest on the back and a small gular crest. The parietal crest is moderately raised with the highest elevation being towards the back. Mating occurs from mid July to mid September in the Northern Hemisphere. They usually lay only one clutch per year. The clutch is laid sometime from the end of September to the first of November
