Adults average 50 cm (20 inches) in total length (body + tail), with a maximum total length of . The tail is relatively long. The body is relatively slender, with 25-36 midbody rows of dorsal scales. These are heavily keeled, with the keels ending in a swelling at the end of each scale.〔
Adults have a uniform light green ground color, overlaid with a series of faint yellow, roughly paired spots running dorsally along the length of the body and about 2.5 cm (about 1 in) apart. The belly is pale green in color.〔 Newborns are tan-brown in color, but this changes to a yellow-green hue with irregular dark spots within 24 hours.〔Spawls S, Branch B. 1995. ''The Dangerous Snakes of Africa''. Ralph Curtis Books. Dubai: Oriental Press. 192 pp. ISBN 0-88359-029-8.〕 This second color phase has been described as the reverse of that of the adults and is only seen in individuals less than in total length.〔〔
