Can anyone identify what species of snake this is?

This was posted in a thread on off-topic.net, someone took a picture of a snake that he found which had managed to get itself stuck in a soda can (they helped it out after taking the pictures). Some of the people on the board don't believe it's a real snake (I'm pretty sure it is). Was wondering if anyone here might be able to identify the species, since that would go a long way towards proving that it's real. Here's a link to the thread...

Some of the people in that thread are pretty ignorant about snakes...but maybe some of the experts from this site can straighten them out. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Actually the guy who took the pics lives in Thailand. Someone else posted in the thread and said it looks like a Pointed Natter (Elaphe Oxycehala) which would be more in line with the location he's in. The coloring doesn't quite look right for a speckled racer (they look more black with green highlights in the pictures I found)...hmm... [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]
