A tiny Two-Striped Forest Pitviper (Bothrops bilineatus) from Loreto, Peru. This was the first I’d ever seen and it didn’t disappoint. Just a beautiful little green snake with a hint of blue.

A Speckled Rattlesnake (Crotalus mitchellii) we found in Baja California several years ago, doing its thing in exposed basalt and sand.
Four-Lined Ratsnake
A juvenile Four-Lined Ratsnake we found in Greece. Visiting Europe for the first time, it was interesting to see so many lines of convergence of traits with animals more familiar from back home. This little snake felt just like a little Sonoran Gophersnake, likely occupying a similar role in the local ecology.
