Guess what I am Snakes!!! LOOK

Ok, the Rules are Simple. You type in a Discription of a species of Snake and we all have to guess what it it based on your discription. When they get it right, you quote them and put the common name and the Latin name of the species along with a picture that you give credit to the site where it was found. Sound Fun? I'll go first

I am a medium to large boid. Found off the coast of Africa on a rather large island. I average 4-7' although 8' specimens have been recorded. I am listed on the CITIES report therefore finding nice captive born babies isn't a problem since I am no longer exported. I have a grey to brown pattern with black marking which helps me blend in with leaf litter where I lay and wait for small mammals to pass by for a snack. I have a large girth and am entirely terrestrial. I may have a clumbsy look, but I am not "dum" as some may say. What could I be?

I agree. Blood. You need to post some more info though. Aboreal, Terrestrial. Stuff like that.

found in the western united states not in deserts but more in light forests and chapparel, mainly terrestrial. bird, and rodent eater(more so rodent). very common colubrid usually around 5-6 ft but can get 7 or 8. if i gave more info it would probably be too easy.

Care to describe a snake??? lol.

oops i meant to write one in lol ok here goes - This snake is from the Southern hemispere . The general colour is dark brown with pale brown blotches. Towards the tail the pale blotches become larger so that the pattern appears to be reversed with a pale background and darker blotches. The head is conspicuously triangular with an obvious constricted neck area. Each scale has a keel or ridge running along its centre giving the snake its common name.
what snake am i ?
