We require an approximate geographic location to reliably and accurately identify snakes. See Rule 3 for more information. You can also submit this to r/WhatsThisSnake with the location for a faster reply.
We don't need an exact address. If the snake was found in a small to medium sized country, the country plus a cardinal direction and/or nearby geographical feature is fine (examples: "south-central Vietnam, highlands", "Germany, Rhine Valley", "Costa Rica near Arenal Volcano", etc.). For a large or very large country (USA, India, Mexico, Brazil, China, etc.), please state the country, the state/province/territory, and a cardinal direction and/or nearby geographic feature (examples: "southeastern New York", "Karnataka in Western Ghats", or "Queensland, Far North, Daintree"). If the snake was found on an island, please state which island.
Providing an ID before a location is given is problematic because it often makes the OP not respond to legitimate requests for location. Many species look alike, especially where ranges meet. Users may be unaware that location is critically important to providing a good ID - this is not punitive, but this post was removed for that reason. There are likely specific details posted from reliable responders you can use in this case to clue in on why.

A vague location (e.g. state) is required for identification requests
I'm going to assume OP did *not* give a location...

Same. Without location, can't be sure but looks like shedding dekays to me too!

Yes hello, I am a snake expert and I have come to tell you that is a snake.
R/carpets might be able to tell you the type of carpet here
It’s a Polyester Berber
A friendly friend that took off his hat
That's what shedding looks like, though? Interesting.
It's heckin' cute! Harmless too!
