Some fantastic pictures of snakes

i take NO credit for these, but i found them in one of my live journal communities. Some have been named as far as species go but I want to know what number 4 is. It looks like some kind of beauty snake to me but i know almost nothing of them, and the facial markings aren't right for what ive seen in beauty snakes.

supposed species below (scroll down, i dont want to spoil for those who want to guess first) , missing some though.

enjoy!

3 is definitely a bunch of BRB's if they weren't Brazilian then they would be more brown.

I think 1 and 4 are west african green mambas because they are the only kind of snakes i know with that sort of scalation

i also think 11 is east african green mamba

that was very cool! thank you for posting!!

they HAD to be mambas. i was like "i wonder if i can find a CBB one". not anymore :( they are SO pretty. maybe i can find a zoo or private breeder that has some so i can take some pictures of my own.

#6 is the bamboo viper or whitelipped viper

The Serpentarium in Cape Fear, NC has green mambas, along with a bunch of other amazing animals. Its definitely worth a trip, plus they do live feedings (with f/t rodents) every day at noon, I believe. They put up these screen contraptions in front of the venomous' enclosures and then just open them up and climb in. Its really neat to see. http://www.capefearserpentarium.com/

Great find! I would love to obtain large prints of these photographs, the are so beautiful.

nevermind
