You're welcome. Glad you got it found.
SheaEckert
Got it! IT was the Green Tree Python. I recognized it by the head. Thank you for the suggestion though!!
SheaEckert
Yes, it was definitely green. I know it's hard with very little area shown of the snake, but I saw the full view, and just wasn't able to photograph it.

This is a GREEN? It appears that the foreground blurs a black snake with a milky green shade...but you've been there alive, so it was just an assumption (and the only snake I found with a somehow matching pattern)
SheaEckert
Thank you for your suggestion, but I looked it up and I couldn't find any Mexican Moccasins that are this green. Unless you know of some otherwise, I think i'll keep looking...
