A juvenile Eyelash Viper (Bothriechis schlegelii) of the yellow "oropel" morphotype spotted on a night hike in Alajuela Province, Costa Rica. These small, arboreal and mild-tempered snakes are incredibly variable in color and pattern and are a joy to photograph. #snakes #herpetology #wildlife

A new species of #snake for me yesterday at Heliconias Rainforest #CostaRica.

The Side-striped Palm Pit Viper (Bothriechis lateralis) usually stays up higher in the canopy and at higher elevations, but maybe the windy weather brought it down low. So beautiful.

These are ambush hunters and will spend days in the same spot, waiting for frogs to wander by.

The Eyelash Pit Viper (Bothriechis schlegelii) is an incredible species of snake found in parts of Central and South America. These smaller vipers are arboreal (live in trees) and are ambush predators. They get their name "Eyelash" because of the scales that can be found above their eyes.

Here are two interesting venomous snakes I found in a herpetologically unexplored part of Colombia back in 2011 on a Cartel cocaine smuggling route #TBT Bothriechis supraciliaris (Taylor, 1954).🐍 No good pic's of the blue one, but you can imagine.

The Eyelash Viper (Bothriechis schlegelii) is one of the most striking snakes in the rainforest.

Named for the small scales above its eyes that resemble eyelashes, this arboreal pit viper ...

Side Striped Pit Viper
Bothriechis lateralis

Mountains of Costa Rica + western Panama. I love this blue-aqua color morph! Can exceed 39" (100cm). Arboreal species. Ambush hunters that will strike quickly if disturbed.
