Hi Kate. I don't know if you're still active on Project Noah, but your snake is an Amazon Tree Snake, Imantodes lentiferus. It is differentiated from the other two species of Imantodes by the color and pattern. The link in the reference box is really excellent. It is in Spanish but can easily be copied and run through Google Translator https://translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=en&tl=es&text=Whatever.
