We mostly survived on grubs, wild fruit, and snake meat.

Okay, I’m exaggerating a bit.
We laid camp in the…uhh…more bougie part of the rainforest.

Costa Rica has around 139 snake species and 22 or 23 venomous snake species.
Scratch that off of my list of vacation destinations.

My family was in the bromeliad importing business for decades.. 1977 a fer de lance was found in a shipment - all hell broke loose in customs that day.

Your definition of a safe distance is obviously a lot different than mine.

Yeah, that’s definitely an invasive we don’t need spreading here.

I honestly don't see a snake in the first picture with the plants.

That was the Golden Eyelash Viper as I originally spotted it, aka “in situ”.

Cool pics sir! I tried to find someone who could make a pair of boots out of the Bushmaster. Beautiful snake but bad arse. I think they are more prevalent in the Osa Peninsula. It's like Jurassic Park down there.

This is the most beautiful snake I have ever seen.
The blunt heads look like they are malnourished.

what are the deadliest snakes you have handled? any mambas or aussie snakes?
Posted on 2/11/26 at 4:29 pm to Topwater Trout
Nah this was my first time herping out of the country. The top few I’ve handled as far as drop for drop venom toxicity were a mojave rattlesnake and tiger rattlesnake, then probably the Eastern corals and Sonoran coral. Most dangerous were probably the Eastern diamondbacks and the Fer de lance.

Great pics man. Thanks for sharing

I think you miss ID'd this one.
That's obviously the dreaded Myopic Derp snake.

Eyelash vipers - didn’t realize there were so many color variations. We caught 9 and they all looked different.
One of my favorites for that reason. That yellow is beautiful, and the camo on the second variation is perfect for much of its habitat.
Great pics, and I'm glad you had a good time and made it back!
