These pictures seem to tell the story...

Those photos help tremendously and I am much more certain now that this is a hybrid. I enlarged the side view photos and was unable to see any evidence of subocular scales, which would point to P. brongersmai. From the earlier photo, the anterior dorsal surface is highly faded like mature P. curtus, but uncharacteristically brown in color. However, the clincher is the top of head photo. If you enlarge it, you can see that the parietal scales are small and only in point contact. This is only seen in P. curtus. With this mixed combination of physical traits, I am almost certain that this is a brongersmai X curtus hybrid.
