It has also been recorded on St. Croix, Martinique, Monito Island, the British Virgin Islands, and Costa Rica.[1] Both sexes reach a length of 34 mm snout-to-vent. Its color pattern is variable, usually with six or seven dark bands between its limbs and a light brown or gray ground color; these markings may fade in some adults. Its tail is bright pink to pale orange with ladder-shaped markings. Its ventral surface is white or yellow, with dark stripes extending from its chin to its throat or chest. The top of its head is light brown or yellow, with dark stripes extending from behind its eyes and joining behind its neck. Notes1. ^Though it has been recorded on Dominica as well, this was on the basis of one specimen with no precise locality information, so its presence there has not yet been verified.
