I'm not sure what kind of snake this is, I got it from a friend who got it for free, and was told it was a African Rock Python. The pictures I have looked up of African Rock Pythons look nothing like this snake. It is very aggressive and has a relatively small neck for the size of it's body. It is about 6' long, I am not sure if it was wild or captive as the guy my friend got it from knew little of it. Here are some pictures I took today, if you need any more specific photographs let me know the angles and I will try to do my best.

Thanks in advance,

I've been reading up and is there anyway to tell if this is a true cooks tree boa or a Grey Garden Shade Amazon Tree Boa..

I agree with justKev, this is a Cook's or Amazon Tree Boa. They are nasty tempered and handling like will not help...
Just an FYI. Keep it in high humidity and give it a branch to hang on and it should do great. The good news
is they don't get large so you will not need a large enclosure like you would have for the Rock Pyhton.

It is definitely a far cry from what your friend thought it was...
