is a latin american species which seems to mimic Bothriopsis bilineatus (top photo). Although there is a reported death from Xenodon, it is mostly placid in nature once it gets conditioned to people viewing it. But of course it is never handled. When I first received it, it flattend its head and raised up like a hognose does but now it stopped its acting. Interesting species to say the least. Eats toads and frogs.
