Identify this file!!

[natrix]

Any file snake experts on here? A bit of ID help needed please.
These are labelled as capensis, no locality data available, what do you think??

At that size I would guess Cape File and also have the look of one but it is a weird colour.
Maybe a few more closer pics of the head from the side and top?

Without having knowledge of locality, identifying the species is a bit tough, but based on what you bought them as, I would guess that this specimen is G. unicolor, a previous subspecies of capensis.

But there are so many of the Gonionotophis sp. which are uniform black, I would not bet money that I am right.

I would say G. poensis.

It could be G.C.Unicolor, however the colour makes me lean towards G.C.Poensis.

Would be alot easier if you had knowledge of the locality.

Thanks for the replies so far.
I'll try to make some enquiries to see if I can find out any more background info.

My mistake, looking at the belly, it's definitely not G.C.Unicolor

maybe you should send it to me, so i can see for sure
