I went on a mission trip to CR last summer, spent a week in the mountains helping to build a church. On one of our last days, we got to go to a resort area that had a zoo of sorts. Took some pics of the snakes, I thought I'd share them. Taken w iPhone camera, so quality is spotty.

Beautiful photos! The tree viper is an eyelash palm pitviper (Bothriechis schlegelii) and the last photo looks to me to be a jumping viper (Atropoides ssp.).
