Field Notes

Description:

About 1.5 meters (5 ft) long. Very heavy-bodied snake that is shades of gray and brown. Very happy to see one of these in the wild :) Couldn't get him out since the vines were too thick, so just settled for the photos. Wanted to hold him so badly though!

Habitat:

Found in thick vines at night. Jungle behind him and the ocean only about 10 meters away.
