Emerald Boa

Amazon Basin emerald tree boa (Corallus batesii) - Yasuni National Park, Ecuador

 

One of the prettiest snakes on the planet and one that is rarely encountered. They live in the tree tops in the rainforest and are well camouflaged to help them remain concealed. Only rarely do they descend to ground level, I have heard reports of heavy rain driving them lower from the canopy. This one cannot be explained so as it was relatively dry when it was found.
