This is one of 2 species, the only difference is the scale count. Either name will do, latin names only.

It's definitely not Coluber hippocrepis... BTW, this is the first time I've ever seen the Fragmeister stumped! Is this a special occassion? Do we bust out the champagne?

Well,
I can throw in the towel, unless its a species of Chironius or Psuestes (my only other guesses)
then Im out of answers.
I bow to thee BWsmith [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
but I may decide im giving up too easy once I can get home and hit my books.

Just because it is trivia doesn't mean that I knew the answer right away [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] The photos had to be sent to a couple professionals for a positive ID. Most dealers who have them even misidentify them. Told ya it was a toughie. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Hey, I'll be your best friend if you PM me the answer [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] I honestly have no idea whatsoever. And I don't mean no idea as in "I'm not really sure", I mean no idea as in "I have no idea altogether". I couldnt' get past colubridae. #$%^&#$%^&#$%^&#$%^&, I could even be wrong about THAT (though I doubt it).

Is it a Night Adder(causus)? They are very colubrid-looking.

HInt #2
They have not been considered dangerous in the past. But they do have a neurotoxic venom and are rear fanged.
