Reptile & Amphibian Forums

hi,
last week i purchased a very interesting snake from a reptile show,
i have no idea what this snake is and i thought i knew every snake, knobody at regal reptiles knew what it was.
from the looks of it i would guess it is some diurnal south american rear fanged racer like snake or tree snake.
he is beutifuly patterned with a green yellow belly, a green face with a blue head, large eyes, pink mouth, a dark colored line runs down its spine his whole body., he fades to a brown.
i am very curious of what this is and any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Kevin

For any secure ID, you will have to provide photos that show the snake (a) in focus, and (b) without being held behind the neck, which distorts the head.

Cheers,

Is it possible for a shot of the whole snake in good lighting??? Its to dark to see, and a larger picture would also help...

Did the guys you bought it from from where it was imported???

but I would venture to guess it is a Parrot snake, Leptophis aehtulla (sp?). Does it assume a defensive posture with the mouth gaping?

From the available info, that would be the best guess.
