I'm no expert at investigating photos, but from what I can see, the snake in the first picture is not the same snake as the one in the second picture.

My reasons: If you will look at the patch on head of the first snake, it is short. The patch from the bottom snake is longer.

Look further down the snake. You will come to the first band. The first snake's band has no white edge to it and joins the side markings by only a thin peice of coloration. The second snake's first band has white edging and is thicker, merging into the side markings with a wider and clearer coloration.

Just a thought but something I noticed while looking at the photos. If the owner did indeed just take these pictures, thats a load of difference in color and pattern for me.
