Need help identifying this little guy...

[RobNJ]

So I've had this guy for almost a month now and can't seem to figure out what type of python it is. I was given it by a girl in my town who's roommate moved out and left it behind. When I got it, it seemed to be at the onset of a respiratory infection, which cleared up very quickly. She told me that her roommate said it was a Timor Python, but I'm not so sure, as it has absolutely no pattern to speak of. He's about 4-4 1/2 feet long, very thin by most python standards, has a dull, slightly irridescent brownish-olive color with a white underside creeping up the sides a bit forming a greenish yellow. He's a very active snake, both on the ground and climbing limbs. His behavior reminds me of a Texas rat snake, truth be told. He also has an incredible appetite, which also reminds me of colubrids. Can anyone identify this python by the pics and description I've given. Please let me know.

Thanks, Rob

Thanks Harald, think you got it. Just checked out Liasis Fuscus, brown water python, and looks exactly the same.

He looks like the pics I found, but I'm no expert. He's really pretty and sounds like a pretty awesome snake to inherit!
