colubrid or boa? I would say its a boa
 
Non venomous burrowing species.........................They do constrict though!
 
Nobody has suggested a Macleay's but I realize they don't burrow. Don't really know. When do we get the answer Wattso?
 
i seem to remember that particular burrowing python in a book i read years ago where they reffered to it as a new world python??
 
Ok......sxereturn and marc came closest. The snake is called a sunbeam snake but not L.bicolor marc mentioned. It is Xenopeltis unicolor from china and s.e.asia . beatiful snake indeed. i will add here some relative url's with info.

It is a Rainbow snake !!

I held one in Thailand about 2 weeks ago at a snake farm. This photo is taken a bit far away to show the rainbow effect like the original photo on this post but it looks identical including the flat rounded head.
