I have worked in Costa Rica & am a herpetologist. Lovely snake. I am a bit jealous I miss the vine snakes from down there. Hope he/she sticks around.

Great photo. Did you use a telephoto lens or did you sneak up on it? In my experience, these fast-moving snakes do not sit still when disturbed.

It was a small snake, he/she was only about 12-18 inches, she didn't move away to fast, however she was active, moving from plant to plant, she didn't seem to escape, but we didn't 'disturb' it either. My camera is nothing special 3x zoom $59 bucks sort of thing.

Pura Vida
