Belize Snake - what is it?
Hi there! We saw this snake in Belize. It was in the interior jungle area and was laying across a back dirt road. It was mostly black, very thick and about 7 feet long. We only got a pic of the last bit. Some people there said it might be a boa constrictor but another thought maybe a fer-de-lance.

Anyone here know for sure?

Doesn't look like a boa, hard to tell from the pic though.

Tail looks like it could have the red tail pattern but unfortunatelywithout more pics its difficult to say.

The closest thing I could find was "Mexican Moccasin"
