Someone else stomped its head before I came across it.
That’s a rattler?
I didn’t see a rattle, but its head was ominously diamond-shaped at first glance and looking at lists now the closest I see is number 13 here, the malaysian pit viper. It doesn’t have the thin black stripe along its back though, so maybe phew it isn’t.
Different AI sites are saying it’s a python or constrictor, which seems in line with the descriptions I’m reading. big head, light underside, net like rather than diamond like back pattern.
And it definitely has the reticulated python pupils, vertical slits in light orange-red eyes. I remember them very clearly, although I didn’t get more pictures.
It is a python. I don’t understand how I cleaned my lenses this morning and they’re so filthy, I see the pattern more clearly without them. 😂
