Re: What kind of SNAKE is this???

Nah, it's not a viper - you can tell immedaitely by the teeth. Vipers have one set of retractable fangs - just one fang either side. This snake has multiple sets of small "grasping" teeth, which means it's most likely a python or boa species. My immedaite guess would be an Irian Jaya carpet python. Can somebody confirm?

Re: What kind of SNAKE is this???

teeth remind me of Amazon Tree Boa, quite a nasty little bite on those, I've had a few and they tend to be very bity, love their colorations, but that bite and those long teeth make them great trainers for arboreal vipers, every time you get tagged it reminds you of "what could have been"

Dont vipers have backup sets of teeth, just in case it looses one?
