Chironius bicarinatus
Found hanging from the roof of the Explorama Lodge walkway off the dining room.
Snakes in this genus (Chironius) are among the most abundant in all South American forests. They include both ground-living and canopy-living diurnal species that mainly prey on frogs but also take lizards and birds. This species actively seeks out prey in shrubs and trees. Smart for a snake, there are records of this species investigating bromeliads for their frog prey.
