The first looks like one of the False Coral Snakes; I'm guessing Oxyrhopus formosus?

The middle picture is most likely a Giant False Viper,Xenodon severus.

And the last picture is Liophis breviceps, the Amazon Swampsnake.

I know more about snakes found here in my own back yard, so if I'm way off, please don't ridicule me too much.

Wow! you are good. did you cheat and look them up or did you just know? I thought I new my snakes but when I saw these i had no idea. good job!

JIM
PS do you know if any of these are sold here in the US?

>>Wow! you are good. did you cheat and look them up or did you just know?

Or maybe he just right-clicked on them and looked at the filenames?

This seems especially likely considering the last photo didn't show up on my monitor. He/she must have right clicked to read the picture name without seeing it.

Is this not the EXACT picture you posted, the one that must not have ever been there since chrish didn't see it? And if it is in fact the EXACT photo you posted, doesn't it follow that I must have seen it before it disappeared?

Also.. now I see THREE red x's in your original post. Does that mean that none of those pictures was ever there? Or might it mean that there is a good chance that ALL THREE pictures were there when I first opened your post, and that one of them had disappeared by the time chrish opened the post?

Sorry to steal your thunder, chrish. Don't worry, I won't answer any more questions, since it obviously bothers you that someone else might know a thing or two about snakes.

Good lord! I could care less if you answer each and every post on here and point out everyone else's errors. This isn't a contest.

Jim asked if you had cheated by looking them up. I simply was pointing out that because of the filenames, it wasn't necessary to look them up to find out what they were. It was really intended as a comment to Jim about renaming his files, rather than your capacity to identify them.
