Brown Vinesnake (Oxybelis aeneus)

Oxybelis aeneus (Wagler, 1824) - Brown Vinesnake. Found at Palo Verde Biological Station, inside Palo Verde National Park. Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica.

 

Found on Sendero La Venada. This beauty was sitting motionless on the trail as I approached. I slowly moved in for a closeup shot. Got this one shot then it quickly slithered up into a tree and out of camera range.

 

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
