Default borneo pics and identification needed.....

not many snakes seen but heres some of best pics..if anyone can identify the young snake it would be much appriciated, this snake was caught from a boat and by one of members of trip and that person plus two others held this stunning snake one of which was me, there are clips of me holding it in music vid in off topic section...we did try for mangrove snake but difficult to catch from boat so he got away.....this picis were not all taken by me and would like to thank Mark Pennell and Peter Kirk for the use of some of them...remember all photos are off wild snakes..

the baby before we caught it, sleeping on branch right above water...



mangrove snake, again on branch above water..

my fav....

The top one looks liek some sort to cat snake, but They are usually quite aggressive and venomous so it is probably mor elikely some sort of tree snake. Not a boa or python as it has wrong head shape.

The top one is a mock viper Psammodynastes pulverulentus and it isn't a young snake, looks like an adult to me.

Oh and before this goes any further i have several animals of this species sat about 6 feet away from me so i have plenty to refer to other than just google

thnx for suggestions guys, we all thought cat snake at first aswell, but had some niggling doubts which is why we wanted ideas...(being venomous would'nt have stop us) we thought cat snake before we held him lol)..but was completly calm with us as you can see..it was very square and i think you can make this out by pici also skin felt kinda velvety and was dry looking if you know what i mean rather then the wet look shiney skin gets....the markings on back were absolutely stunning...
