paradise tree snake

The lighting was so poor (there was a storm coming in) and the camera we had was so low tech, we couldn't get a much better picture than this. My friend and I saw this snake slithering up across the beach (we were able to trace from its mark in the sand that it actually came up from the sea -- though it's not a coral snake) towards the bushes. We had no means to scale it so I had my friend take a picture with me at a relative distance (it shows how small the snake is)
