I saw this snake while returning from a friend in the neighborhood, if not that I used phone touch it could have been a different story as the snake positioned itself immediately after opening the gate with its head up ready to strike.

There's no bush in my street and everywhere is already developed with buildings.

Kindly help identify the name of this particular creature. Thanks to friends that assisted in doing justice to it.
