DOR Ellisras [boomslang]

[Sico]

I found this on the road in Lephalale (Ellisras) yesterday afternoon. It was freshly killed, and about 1.3-1.4m in length. It's colour was a slightly pale green.
Any guesses on the ID?

It is an ex-Boomslang.
Shame it was a nice size.

Shame,

Such a shame...

Same here, boomslang...

Thanks guys, my first thought was a boomslang as well based on head shape and colour and eyes. I looked in the mouth to see if I could find some fangs but it was a bit too mooshed. Like i said it was really freash, blood was still running out of it, which is a real pity.

You should be able to know straight away from the scales on those guys.

Nice job on the hidden face :P

Maybes he's a top secret government agent and doesn't want his face to be recognized by Cuban drug lord who visit the site?

Ahh...I have no idea why, but I never have too much hope for that road.
Was it between Onverwacht and Medupi or past Medupi?
