Someone else stomped its head before I came across it.
That's a rattler?

FAQ
"How much does traveling cost?"
Cost of living(rent, utilities, data/wifi, groceries) is $500 USD per month for most countries, $1000 for most others.
"Health care and insurance?"
Health care and insurance abroad are both pennies on the US dollar for the highest quality of medical care
"What about visas?"
You usually don't need them; when necessary, visas are almost all entirely online: a fifteen minute e-form and nominal fee offset in your first day by the drastically lower cost of living abroad.
"How do you make money while abroad?"
Any job that nets you $500+ a month works. There are almost 2 billion English students globally right now, so native English speakers have lucked into a guaranteed job on or offline.
"What qualifications do I need as an English teacher?"
Some countries and schools require a TEFL certificate or prefer candidates with an associate's degree depending on the position, but if you want to teach English, all you need is to be a fluent English speaker.

I didn't see a rattle, but it's head was ominously diamond-shaped at first glance and looking at lists now the closest I see is number 13 here, the malaysian pit viper. It doesn't have the thin black stripe along its back though, so maybe phew it isn't.
Different AI sites are saying it's a python or constrictor, which seems in line with the descriptions I'm reading. big head, light underside, net like rather than diamond like back pattern.
And it definitely has the reticulated python pupils, vertical slits in light orange-red eyes. I remember them very clearly, although I didn't get more pictures.
It is a python. I don't understand how I cleaned my lenses this morning and they're so filthy, I see the pattern more clearly without them. 😂
