Are you pulling legs Koviack? Ive been searching for over an hour so far for something looking like this one (yes Im a sad person  ) and you got me all excited for the 10 seconds it took to do a google search.
I think it's an Turquoise Leaf-nosed Whip Vine Mamba personally. (Ive not found one of them on google either) |

Looks like a vine snake of some sort.... but it looks like the colors have been modified in Photoshop.

I wondered about the mouth. At first it looked like a lengthened snout. Now when I look again it resembles distortion after feeding. So maybe someones been playing with that too.

And that's no phoney baroni either...
grrrr I was digging through the South American ones too but I thinkwhat was throwing everyone is the underexposed photo...not only are the colors way off...but the contrast is off... the markings down the spine and sides should be a lot darker....all I could be certain of was it's not a prasina

well actually, hatchling baroni (captive bred especially) are very striking.
They get darker as they grow older.
I dont think the photo is that over exposed.
