Augh, I know this snake! I know it! It's killing me that I can't recall its name! AAUGH!

It is the Boelen's Python M.boeleni

I actually was stating it was correct lol

Correct genus! Can anybody narrow it down to species? It's tricky with just a head, for sure!

Aww. In my edit I edited out Cottonmouth. O well
