Boddaert's tropical racer
Mastigodryas boddaerti
10.68, -61.5171
Field Notes
Description:
Brown small and slim snake with a long pointy tail. Its head was flat with a blunt nose. Big wide scales on its head. I could not see it's belly. About 1 meter long I would guess.
Habitat:
In between wall plants on a wall. On a walk onto the mountains near the Zoo in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
Notes:
I just saw something move from the corner of my eye. When I looked I noticed this beauty. It was completely unfazed by me, and I could come quite close. It was not at all aggressive. It just slowly pulled itself more in between the leaves until it disappeared. LOVELY.
