Does anyone know what this is? I'll give you a hint, I found it in Trinidad.
Cheers,

Probably genus Alsophis, but those Carib herps throw me.

especially since they aren't ususally al black like this one (so I'v been told) but you got it. Nice IDing. Are you from that area? Do you have Hans Boos' book on Trinidad snakes? Cheers

I wanted to say petola, but didn't because of the color. I was using, "Amphibians and Reptiles of Trinidad and Tobago," by John C. Murphy, 1997, Krieger Publishing. That's a pretty cool looking snake. Would like to know more about them. 
PS: I don't think I've ever heard of Boos' book?

Actually, if you read about petola, they usually turn black as an adult. Only the juveniles look like a "false coral". The biggest clue from your picture are the red iris and white venter.
