Poisonous Snake Second Take

Jeff writes:

Dr. Addy from Rumginae in the Western Province of PNG does not think the snake I photographed on the Kokoda trek was a death adder. She thinks that it was a candoia carinata or Pacific Boa. She sent me this photo to show what a real death adder looks like. Note the triangular shaped head and the very small tail.

Daddio also left a comment to say that he thinks that it is a type of boa as well. He identified as a New Guinean ground boa. He supplied a link to the photo below.

Thanks for your timely responses.

I am inclined to agree. Although when I tell the story to my grandchildren, I will probably refer to the extremely rare maybe poisonous but who knows? New Guinea Pacific ground boa or something like that.
