: Need help with what this snake is. If you can help let me know.

By pattern and scalation, my first guess is Elaphe carinata. But this can't be confirmed w/o a look at the whole body, the profile of the head, and a scale count.

My second guess, if the first is wrong, is a species of Ptyas. Looks like dorsal scale count might be slightly high, and the pattern is a little off, but it's possible.

That might be a start in the right direction. Would help if we knew the origin also.
