It's not mine, it was posted on AC and no one there knows what it is so far, and I was kind of curious to know what it is, so here's the pic:

Cool, thanks for the quick reply. A few members there suggested that it might be a uaru, but no one seemed to know for sure.

I'm positive. They keep a dark brown color body color and the flank is covered in spots as juvies. At about 3"-4" they lose their spotting and develop the "triangle" that becomes black and the rest of the body white/cream colored.
