RE: Reptile Photography Contest: 25 SBI shares and upvotes in prizes!
Man, that's a great set of photos!! Where did you took the serpent one? Thank you for this great ideia and for tagging me, I would hate to have missed this one! And here goes my submission:
This cool guy is a green basilisk (Basiliscus plumifrons). I found him basking in Tortuguero National Park, in Costa Rica. These are the guys that can run on water for short distances, that's why they are also known as Jesus Christ lizards! For this guy, no running thow, just enjoying some relax time. :)
Oh man, I would hate to have you missed this one, so glad you noticed the mention and joined :) I knew you would come up with a stunning entry and you just met my expectation :) We saw these guys in Costa Rica too but unfortunately, none of the photos I took is good :( Oh and that viper you asked about, is actually from Costa Rica too. Cahuita National Park ;)
Costa Rica went to the top of my favourite countries! Wildlife everywhere, a dream for me! One of my friends almost stepped on an eyelash viper a few meters from a restaurant where we had dinner in one of the nights! I missed Cahuita park; and I was reaallly lucky in Tortuguero, we got a local guide on a canoe trip, and I hadn't met anyone with such a sharp eye before, the guy could spot ANYTHING in the middle of al the foliage! Thank you again for the great contest!
Same here! Costa Rica remains Nr. 1 destination for me for the same reason, absolutely amazing wildlife and well preserved nature everywhere :) Talking about snakes, I almost stepped on a coral snake during a canopy tour somewhere deep in the rainforest. Honestly, if Costa Rica wasn´t so expensive (at least when compared to other Latin American countries), I would probably live there :)
Yep, price is the only downside to the country! But I do want to go back, a lot of parks still to visit... and I want to see the quetzal!! 😉
