The coloration is the same in some populations, but variable in others. The dorsal color varies from sage green or light green to green, dark green, bluish, olive or dark olive brown. Rare specimens may be found that are yellow, reddish or slate gray. The scales have light-colored keels and sometimes yellow tips. A. squamigera inhabits mostly rainforest, preferring relatively low and thick flowering bushes. Bites from A. squamigera have resulted severe hematological complications as well as death.
