thanks david, not sure if you got my email. Is this because of the frontal scale? this is what i guessed but it is hard to tell from the picture, i also took into account it may be distorted. I havent had much experience in relocating skins to be honest.
No I hadn't checked my emails (but I have now), and yes mainly from frontal scales, also the thumbnail shaped scales running down the middle of its back, as well as your location etc.
thanks they were the only two things i was going off. The email said "looks like a brown snake so be careful". I wasn't sure why they said this. And i know that they do change size (just witnessing this from my pythons) but it is very thin for its length, given those three things I voted tree snake.
