Like all members of the genus Imantodes, these snakes are elongated and very thin, highly specialized for arboreal life. Presented in 12 +2 to 18 + 2 maxillary teeth of equal size, but the last two that are larger and grooved and separated from the rest by a diastema. In addition, the latest, greatest and grooved, and separated from the rest by a diastema, are on the vertical line of the rear edge of the eye. Mandibular anterior teeth are slightly longer than the later.

You are absolutely right....
Ooh I wouldn't want to hold it, it looks way too fragile. Better to see it with my eyes in its natural habitat anyway. :)
It is, I have seen people holding them, and they are very dosil, and fragil.
What an adorable snake, thanks for sharing!
That´s correct, This was in a forest edge close to the Arenal Volcano, I used a flashlight; so I don´t like using the flash, specially with reptiles and amphibians.
Beautiful snake! Very hard to keep in captivity, wonderful in nature!
