Feel free to google both names (common and taxonomic). The pictures match. That is what you have.

Re: hi everyone...
Indeed. Sorry if I came across as a little combative there, but I knew that isn't an anaconda, but for the life of me couldn't remember what it is. Just started googling "asian water snake" to see what popped up, and I happened to see a photo.
Upon some casual reading, seems that they're mildly venomous, but pretty docile. Captive care seems pretty similar to our North American water snakes and garter snakes. Mainly fish-eaters.

Don't sweat it. I think we established what it is. Congrats on getting such an obscure species!

Re: hi everyone...
Well done 
Bryyy023 this is a rear fanged colubrid and slightly venomous so I would suggest doing some reading up on it and its husbandry requirements if you intend to keep it.
