I still think it is Boiga. Don't know what species. Mainly because I don't care for Boiga all that much so never bothered to learn  He prolly paid $500 for an irregularis  Of course, given how idiots abound, it cold be a void Boomer, or a hot boomer and the guy is het for bleeding out his eyes.

LOL! It did look very much like the Boiga irregularis, except for the eyes (they were dark) and the body was more of a solid color without markings. For all I know it could have been some type of rat snake, in fact when he told me elapid I thought he said elaphe and said "oh really,what kind of rat snake?"
My reason for wanting to find out what kind it might be is it was a very elegant, calm snake and if I could find out what ever the heck it was I would like to do some research on it and possibly see about adding a couple to my collection.

Syco,
One of the best ways to search for reptile photos on the net is to use Google's image search. Try different word combinations. I found several photos that matched your description using this method but all had vertical pupils. Also, pupil shape can change drastically depending on the degree of light exposure so you may have seen eliptical pupils that were greatly dilated.

Tad,
I didn't think of the light exposure effect, it could have been that. I just looked at a pic of a boomslang and the eyes looked right, but the color was a lighter red.

If it looked like the pic i posted it is Boiga Irregularis. most likly a rust colored one. Only other snake i can even think of is a slug eater that may match the discreption but they are very hard to come by...

Sounds like a Brown Tree Snake [Boiga irregularis] to me. They show up every once in a while.

This snake I saw was definately not a juvenile, it was about 5 1/2 to 6 ft long.
From all the pics I have seen I believe it was a brown tree snake.
