Crossbands are bands of color extending across the back and down the sides, but do not cross the belly. The belly frequently is a lighter contrasting color. Blotches are large squarish or irregular shaped markings, frequently with dark borders. Large rectangular blotches that cross the back resemble crossbands. Rings are bands of color that extend across the back, down the sides and across the belly to completely encircle the body.
Diamonds are slightly overlapping diamond-shaped blotches running down the middle of the back.
They usually have dark borders or dark and light borders.
