Another guessing game...this time something not from N. America!

I will go with a species of Centipede Eater (Apparalactus sp.-
I don't even know how to spell the genus without cheating), although there is a group of small Australian elapids that look like this as well that I certainly couldn't exclude.

I'm going to go with the Australian elapid genus Suta. I'm guessing Suta spectabilis on the species (I had to look the species up).

I dunno....maybe S.gouldii? There are probably 8 or 9 species of Suta and they are all somewhat similar, and not commonly seen in the U.S. I don't have any experience with them at all, so it's a guessing game for me. Trying to go from memory from photos I've seen in the past is pretty tough sledding.

After trying to scount scale rows in your photo, I came up with Suta flagellum. The genus looks like it's in a bit of a mess.
