Hello, all!
Last September, I went hiking in Costa Rica. I almost stepped on this little guy. Can anyone ID it? Thanks!

That is Rhadinaea or Coniophanes species. I don't have access to my CR books to double check. Maybe Coniophanes fissidens or Rhadinaea decorata.
The FB snake identification page is more likely to get you an answer quickly.
