This small, brown snake has a white, black-bordered line that goes from the postoculars through the fifth and sixth dorsal rows to the tip of the tail. The vertebral region is a little paler than below the lines. Specimens of Rhadinaea decorata often have a subpreocular scale and 110–134 ventral scales (Myers 1974). The most similar species in the region is Urotheca fulviceps, which has a reddish or purple head band, a pale line running along the first and second dorsal scale rows and more than 136 ventrals.
