Nice Matt, are these snakes you found on one of your outings? Very, very nice. Is that simus a young adult? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Rob,
No, these are in my collection. The simus are 2 year olds. The vegrandis is a yearling.
I've never gone up into Guanacaste to hunt for Crotalus....too much to explore on the Osa yet. Until I find a melanocephala, I won't be straying too far from the Osa.
