Hi Mel. I've been trying to track down the ID for this snake. It looks to be of a larger type than the Boiga ceylonensis. I believe I found a picture of it, but there is no ID. I'll keep going and let you know but the link shows one with the same side spots, head formation and markings. It was a great catch anyway. Hope we can identify it. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.attractionsinsrilanka.com%2Ftravel-directory%2Fsnake-farm%2F&psig=AOvVaw0CzMMPryldaMijmcZN0CMg&ust=1606089857443000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCKix0Z7tlO0CFQAAAAAdAAAAABBK
