Awesome!!! Thanks a lot!!!!

I am so stoked to have found this snake, the pictures do it no justice at all. The problem is that the flash totally screwed up the colors. However, when I turned off the flash, the shutter speed slowed down to make up for the low light in the rainforest understory, and my photos came out blurry even though the colors looked right. I wish I had brought my tripod, then I would have had awesome pics!

This was a pretty mellow specimen too, it wasn't jumpy at all. I was able to slowly manipulate it onto a stick for the pictures. The first time I have ever caught a venemous snake. Makes me want to keep a pit viper as a pet, LOL. Maybe when I own my own house I suppose. I guess in the meantime I'll stick with the kingsnakes and leave the venemous ones for field herping. LOL

Thanks again guys!!
