Striped Palm Pit Viper (Bothriechis lateralis)
Well this beautiful pit viper I found it on the vegetation, it blended in great and usually inmobile, waiting for the moment to find something to eat.

By the way Pit vipers are really easy to recognize by the distinct heat sensitive pit localed between the eye and the nostril on each side of the head, and most vipers have numerous small scales, which are often heavily keeled on the top of the head.

Im really happy to show you this beautiful snake, I wish you would enjoy it, too.

Olá Michael,
Fiquei hipnotizado com esse registro. Que olhar maravilhoso. Belo contraste com o fundo escuro; gosto muito desse estilo, acho que valoriza o primeiro plano.
A imensa diversidade biológica da Costa Rica, é digna de ser perpetuada através de documentos visuais como esse que você nos proporcionou.
Parabéns!
Abraços,
José Roberto Peruca
