Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Sorry for those I got excited, I don't have any for sale. This is in response to the locale discussion.
I wanted to share a couple pics of one I picked up while I was working in Ecuador. They are both of the same individual from the Napo Province in Eastern Ecuador. I found one other while down there which also had the same very very dark green coloration until disturbed when he showed off the beautiful interstitial skin from which they get there name.
enjoy!

Wow, thanks for posting that! It's rare that we get to see information about wild specimens.
Any information you could offer about habitat, or other data would be greatly appreciated.
Great photogrpahs as well!

“All men lie enveloped in whale-lines. All are born with halters round their necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realize the silent, subtle, ever-present perils of life.”- Herman Melville

Roy,
The one in the photos was found crossing a path in secondary forest at about 9am after a night of extreme rain in September. The one not pictured was in the early afternoon in primary forest found active between the buttresses of a large kapok tree in mid summer

Both were found at about 300-400m above sea level, within .5k from the Napo River. The secondary forest was an abandoned cocoa farm and the primary essentially abbutted up against it. The two snakes were found about 300 meters apart.

Here's a spilotes from the same area just for fun
