This looks like it sucks. I’m glad I’m in Ohio right now.

[...] is a somewhat dull, rear-fanged, litter-dwelling snake. Another species in the same genus, Coniophanes piceivittis, is common in Palo Verde and packs a mean bite. February 16th, 2010 | Tags: Costa Rica, Herps, Osa [...]

I’m not really sure about some of the coloration patterns. Most species are not equally poisonous, at least with respect to humans. Further, there is regional variation in venom composition and potency to humans. I’d have to look up some info on the ecological or evolutionary reasons for it, but i’d bet mahmood, my mentor in palo verde, would know somethign about it. my best guess is predator-prey interactions are driving color variation, not mating strategries (i dont think snakes arent very visually oriented creatures).

yes… absolutely. they pack a pretty mean bite too. it didn’t draw blood though, unlike that basilisk a few years ago.
