I was not able to find much on this one, It is the rufous-beaked snake of Eastern Africa, primarily Sudan and Ethiopia, reaching 63 1/2" long. It is a venomous rearfanged snake for which antivenom is made but seldom needed. It's binomial is (Rhamphiophis oxyrhynchus) and the picture is by John White.
I am having difficulty loading pictures right now so how about we have Small Guy post one instead?
