Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!

Hi Ashley. I think the snake didn't feel comfortable with my pictures, so after a couple of minutes she started climbing the vines and entered the forest (but didn't release the prey)

The prey won't be struggling though, this snake is mildly venomous (though not a threat to humans). All it has to do to turn the lizard is move one fang at a time. I see my snakes do it while in the air, they are quite the little acrobats when they need to be :)

Ashley, I know that snakes (at least some of them) can move their jaws laterally, until they get to the prey's head. Also, I know that they can eat preys much bigger than themselves. But this snake has most of its body in the air, without a visible foothold. Besides, as it is not a constrictor type of snake, it would be hard for it to hold a large, struggling prey. Anyway, It is surely a great spotting.

Sergio he wouldn't have a problem eating something this size, just has to turn it the right way :) I am interested to know if you stayed to see if he ate it or not too though!

Súper sólidas esas fotos.

Astonishing! Do you think the snake could handle such a big prey? Did it eat the lizzard?

Thanks Ashley

Such an awesome series!
