I just got back from a family vacation in Honduras where I got a chance to sneak away and do some herping while the rest of the family slept. I didn't see all the species I was hoping to see since Hondurans are in the habit of cutting up any herp with the machettes they carry everywhere. I did however, find a bothrops asper crossing the trail at 6AM the day before I left. This was the only snake I discovered. I spent a lot of time looking for an eyelash viper, but never found one. I also had hoped to see a honduran milksnake, but didn't have time to really get into a detailed search since I was traveling with family. I did encounter numerous toads, anoles, and agamids, as well as some interesting non herps like bats and scorpions. Almost every native honduran I spoke with about snakes told me they had just killed one last week or the day before.
