Please ID snake

This snake was found dead in the neighborhood. It's not indigenous to the area and appears to be some sort of ground boa?

That is why I was kind of hesitant to say that but then again. It could be with how much it blackened and all that stuff just not look like it in the head but the markings on the side and belly look exactly like it. Could it be a blood? It has a boa kind of head though.

Re: Please ID snake

The large labial scales are throwing me off. I know it is not C c paulsoni, but I can't find a good close up of an aspera face (of course I am at work, so I can't really hunt either)
