I spotted this Central American Boa crawling along the upper edge of an eroded dirt wall in southern Mexico a few years back. It was a young boa, maybe 4 feet long. It seemed pretty busy searching along the vegetation transition, and allowed some easy photos.

Cerralvo Island Rattlesnake found near the beach on its namesake island a few years ago off the coast of Baja California Sur.
