100% a green tree python, as Cypselurus said. Β Once you know the visual differences between the two species, it's extremely easy to tell them apart.

Looks more like a Green Tree Python- heat pit placement seems rather different. The two species are similar, and commonly depicted as an example of convergent evolution

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately the Louisville Zoo's website is lacking images for their snakes.

You're welcome! Yeah, unfortunately, a lot of zoo sites tend to gloss over reptiles, even the really beautiful ones..

My first guess would be an Emerald Tree Boa (Corallus caninus).

I think you're right! The way it coils itself on a tree branch is the same. Thank you! :-D
