The first one seems like Green forest snake(Boiga cyanea Dumeril et Bibron) Located in Yunnan.
The second one is Mangshan turtle designed snake(Trimeresurus mangshanensis Zhao)

The only clue I was given was that the animals were found on the Chinese mainland.
I humbly admit that this is a pickle for me as well, as I personally have no idea. I was hopping that someone could help in the identification process. Undecided

Good one catmum-ia. Sorry I did not read your previous post, as you were spot on. Thanks you as I did not have a clue and had a couple of sites also looking and they also got the  Mangshan pitviper but the Green snake (Cyclophiops major) is still a mystery.
I have been told on another site that it could be bought if on sale about £5,000.
Thanks mate good one
