Second attempt - Snake ID - Better Pics
The Snake is still with me and now in a better enclosure so I can post some better pics that will hopefully help ID it.
Additional information. When threathened it drags its head into an S strike position and make a rattling sound with its tail. Much lika a rattle snake. It does not have any rattle on its tail.

Where do you live? If I remember correctly, snakes that rattle the tail but don't have a rattle are usually bluffing, and that looks like some sort of boa to me.
I hate hearing people say "it's only a $3/$5/$1 fish/shrimp, so it's ok if it dies, I can just get another." It's still an animal! All animals should be treated like they're worth $10,000.

Yes, it definitely looks boine. The Corallus genus seems to fit. I think we can rule out Elaphe.
That strike position is identical to the one my Corallus cookii used to make
