Amazonian whip snake

My other idea was the yellow bellied racer Coluber constrictor, there are a number of subspecies, and some of the appacrent IDs online are similr but others are very different, but could be due to the sub species, many of the ids are herpe shops and i dont trust their ids at all if they are anything like tha place i buy my coral from!! cant find a good id guide with an image though! but take a look http://www.californiaherps.com/snakes/pages/c.c.mormon.html Coluber constrictor is a species of nonvenomous, colubrid snakes commonly referred to as the eastern racers. They are primarily found throughout the United States, east of the Rocky Mountains, but they range north into Canada, and south into Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. There are currently 11 recognized subspecies.

i found some images that are identical but the ID's seem wrong, damm internet, why you need a good field guide!!

Possibly but both carinatus and multiventris belong to the same family of vine snakes so both have this similar attribute of slender body and poitned head, i did look at this and thought it seemed fatter more like a racer but then they dont have the dark edged scales on the belly like yours does. those lighter strip of scales on the side of the body seem to be a great identifying feature, just cant find any with the same!

Could be this Chironius carinatus, the Machete Savane, is a very large, but slender snake (reportedly up to 3 m [9.8 feet] in length) found in the Guianas, northern Brazil to Costa Rica, eastern Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago. It feeds on frogs, mice and birds. Although nonvenomous, this snake is well known for its aggressive behaviour. Body color can range from brown to deep yellow or gold, with the tail being generally darker than the body. The belly is often a bright shade of yellow or orange. In most specimens, body scales have lightly colored centers with darker edges. A light colored stripe runs down the length of the body, fading at the tail. The dorsal scales are in 12 rows.

very cool i like how you can see a tine mosquito on him also!!

Is that a bug of some sort on the snake in the first pic? (near the left edge of the picture)

parrot snake

I'm thinking vine snake or parrot snake...some variety thereof...
