“Hello,” I said as I looked at the snake on the branch outside the kitchen window. I act way cooler now than I did with my first snake sightings. Grabbed camera, grabbed Costa Rica Field Guide on Reptiles which I have lying handy, and woke Abayneh up from a nap to show him.
Oriole Snake, non-venomous.
Estimated length of 5' or 150cm.
Having now studied the field guide more closely, I have a snake wish list which includes a Freminville’s Scorpion-eater. I would pay good money for one of those.
Mangoes moved me to Montezuma...
