Key Identification Features
- One of its most distinctive features is a set of hair-like projections above the eyes that resemble eyelashes.
- Its back has either stripes or a diamond pattern, which gives the species its common name and acts as a key identifying feature.
- As they mature into adults, light yellow flecking develops across their bodies, which makes the original banding less distinct.
