You could call it a whipsnake or a treesnake. Calling it such, however, would not make it clear to anyone else what snake you were referring to, since there are whipsnakes & treesnakes on more than one continent. The real common name would be in Spanish, & probably harder for you to remember & pronounce than Chironius. All animals have a scientific name. Not all of them have a common name. The scientific name is the same world-wide, in any language. As gently as possible, I'm attempting to get you to come to grips with the fact that learning at least some scientific names for snakes is not a bad idea.
