Hello, thanks for the additional information. Yes the "general" habitat was there. What needs to be there are your comments below that tell the specific habitat of your spotting. It is best to have this information in the spotting itself rather than the comments because most people may not read the comments. I have copied the comments there for you. Thank you.
Hello SukanyaDatta. I Spotted it at Cerro de la Muerte mountain. It is 70 Km South from San José, Costa Rica.
The background wine colour is part of the t-shirt weared by the persson who found the vip.
Hello, Scott Frazier. The info is there in "Habitat". Else, I´ve added two links for more info.
This snake was captured near a montain hotel, around 2800mosl, the same morning I arrived there. It is a very venomous Sp.
Totally captivated by the vivid colours...where did you spot this lovely?
Wow, what a background...is this a wild shot? Please describe the Habitat of your spotting "in" Habitat. Here is what the FAQs state: "Please state the actual habitat where you photographed the spotting - this information can then be used to track changes in habitat, such as those caused by human intervention or habitat destruction. Again, it is not necessary to state published habitat information here, this can be referenced in the 'reference links' box." ( http://www.projectnoah.org/faq ). Thanks!
Wonderful color! Awesome find!
