Okay ladies and gentlemen, I think that last post has gotten everyone chomping at the bit for a quiz so here you go. Chris put one up a while ago with just bits of the snakes, i'll follow in suit but i'll give you the heads, no more, no less. good luck here are the first three, second three in the next post

here are the next and final three... hopefully it's a good combo of easy and hard, since I'm giving you head shots, I think you should be able to get them all, I just hope it takes a little bit of thinking... also, for geography hint see next post if you want it

North Eastern South America... east of the andes, all from the same 5km radius
also, sorry a couple of the pics are crap, had to crop them down from full body shots
hope you have fun

1. some neotropical Tantilla ?
2. Imantodes sp. Can't tell which species from that angle. But I will guess cenchoa.
3. Oxyrhopus petiola.

number 1 is tough. I want to say Oligodon, but I think Geophis (one of the Central American species) is a safer bet since the others are Neotropical as well.
Number 2 is Waglerophis merriami (a young one?)
Number 3 is Sibon nebulosus

okay 2 out of 5 so far... Oxyrhopus and Imantodes both correct. Sibon is similar, but not quite. Not bad without the locale though. keep going

I know I'm out of my league here so this is really guessing:
No. 1 An Atractasidid?
No. 2 False Terciopeol? (Xenodon ssp?)
No. 3 Sibynomorphus ssp.?
Am I even in the ballpark?

0.1 Creamsicle Cornsake "Yolanda"
1.0 Bairds Ratsnake "Steely Dan"
0.1 Desert Kingsnake "FATTY"
0.1 Black Rat (WV Rescue) "Roberta"
Ok I looked at the clue so...
>>No. 1 An Atractasidid? NOT!
No.3 in the second group: Oxyrhopus rhombifer.
