Hi Susan, As far as I know this snake is more common in the caribean but also posible to see in the dry forest as well as some areas along the pacific side .
Beautiful snake!
SusanFarmer - Several findings of this rare species have been reported from the Pacific lowland moist forests and lower montane area.
See the photo I just posted of a small southern bromeliad boa which we found in our driveway in Dominicalito Puntarenas--what do you think it was doing all the way over here?

Very Cool Alice, the other day I found one of this by my room in a Hotel in Torrtuguero National Park, Nice because this kind of snake is not so easy to find....
Eso mismo creí cuando la encontré (harsuame)
