Amazing colour. I have an idea what it is but I will leave it to the resident experts.
A bit hard to confirm from the pics. Juvenile Coastal Tai? or on second thought maybe Western Brown Pseudonaja nuchalis?
It is a young Keelback Tropidonophis mairii. It has a loreal scale, dark-edged upper labials and the mouth curves markedly upwards at the back of it.
