Costa Rican Coralsnake In The Grass
A good-sized Costa Rican Coralsnake we saw in the grass on a family vacation. These are very different than the coralsnakes we have back in Arizona. It’s much larger and willing to strike, which it did repeatedly. These snakes are a handful to get photos of, but we managed and let it disappear back into the forest.
Fer De Lance On The Trail
I was on a night hike in the Amazon and just about to step over this knee-high buttress when I noticed it was occupied. A young Fer De Lance (Bothrops atrox) was waiting on top, but I was not the rodent it was hoping to come along. The broken green and black shapes in its pattern would have made this easy to miss.

Rainforest Hognosed Pitviper Closeup
A big Rainforest Hognosed Pitviper from the high forests of Guatemala a couple of years go. These are impressive little snakes that are nearly invisible in forest floor leaf litter.
Rainbow Boa in Peru
One of several Rainbow Boas we found moving through the layers of leaf litter covering the ground in the Peruvian Amazon. Back home, these are popular pets. In the wild, they’re every bit as colorful … but typically highly defensive and quick to bite.
Nose Horned Viper
A Nose Horned Viper we found in Greece a few years ago.
Brown Throated Three Toed Sloth
Brown-throated Three Toed Sloth from Costa Rica back in November. I’ve rarely seen them be more than brown blob up in binocular range, so some activity (slowly of course) was nice.
