Species:
Sibon nebulata
Cloudy Snail-eating Snake
September 27, 2001
between Palmar Norte and Dominical, Puntarenas province, Costa Rica


We found this snake on a rainy night crossing the new paved road from the Pan-American Highway to the coast. We captured it and took pictures the next day. These snakes eat snails and slugs almost exclusively, so rainy nights are the best time to find them. Fortunately, there are a lot of rainy nights in the tropics.
This snake was photographed on a herping trip with GreenTracks. Here is a complete list of the species we found on this GreenTracks trip.
