A Blunt-headed Tree Snake from Guatemala a few years back. These are extremely thin snakes that can be very difficult to photograph, as they just never stop moving. This one took awhile, but eventually let me get this subpar shot.
The least likely thing we could have seen in Guatemala – The Torre de Guatel Arboreal Alligator Lizard. Spotted by the laser eyes of Jake Scott, moments after a discussion about how impossible this search was going to be.
This Ghost Anole was one of many anoles seen on a trip to the high forests of Guatemala.
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.
A Lowland Striped Blindsnake from Guatemala. It’s a tiny, entirely harmless invertebrate specialist that doesn’t spend much time on the surface, so we were lucky to see one. Compared to the unicolor blindsnakes (Rena sp.) from the U.S., this one having some pattern and a bright yellow tail spine was very interesting. The thing they have in common with them though: they’re about impossible to photograph, and they smell like hell.
Guatemalan Beaded Lizard found within the small last range of this highly endangered species.
This Red-Eyed Treefrog was really dark compared to others I’d seen! Found on a nighttime walk in the Guatemalan rainforest.
A Glass Frog stays with its eggs, as seen from below the leaf on a night hike in Guatemala. Within each egg, a tiny tadpole can be seen.
