These arent venemous? Not sure why you placed the question in this section. Unless you're thinking of a different snake. I know we saw lots of blunt headed tree snakes in costa rica.

Heres a picture of one. They're deffinetly awesome snakes. If you find any info id love to know too :)

The snake in your pics is Imantoides cenchoa. Here's a link to another pic, albeit of a different subspecies.

They are rear-fanged but not dangerous, and they eat anoles.

That picture link looks more like the other species we found. I think it was called a cat eyed snake?

[thunder]

Imantoedes species are often called cat snakes or cat-eyed snakes. It's perfectly possible that my identification of the animal in your pics was incorrect, I'm not an expert.

wow thanks guys and bartman ill get back to you on that. the reason ithought they were venomouys is because on kingsnake.com the are in the venomous gallery under rear fanged.will they except mice?

[Bartman]

Usually the extremely slender body snakes that are usually rare and wc probably wont be feeding on rodents. If you DO find a cb pair, which may be possible from the states, then that would be awesome.

The person who identified the snake in my pictures was a scientist/conservationist who lived on the site we stayed at so I'd assume he was right. I am no expert either so we'll call it even :)

[thunder]

I'm sure your conservationist friend identified it correctly, but without a scientific name, we can't really say what it is, since common names are so variable.

hmmmm well reptiles magazine had a tiny article on them and i think the scientist dude was right because thats the same color and pattern.Cant iget frozen lizards?
