Description
Atractus depressiocellus is a large and heavy-set snake with small, sunken eyes. The head is wide and somewhat stout, with a pale brownish color. There is a V-shaped black patch on the back of the neck. The body is largely yellow-brown, with irregular spots or stripes on the dorsum. The tail and rear of the body is more gray-hued than the remainder of the body. Ventrally, the head and throat are light brown, thinly maculated black. The stomach is blackish due to dense markings, with only the neck being more sparsely maculated.
