Bill, thank you. You are an endless font of helpful biological identification information. We really appreciate the time and effort you put in to helping us with this.

I'm not so good on identifying tropical snakes.
Trying to look like a coral snake. Nonvenomous... terrestrial snail sucker. Notice its head is substantially wider than its neck. Coral snakes' heads are about the same width as the neck. Also corals are nearly the same diameter most of the body length, while this one tapers markedly.

I knew right away it was not a venomous coral, but it took over an hour of searching to find what it was.

I’m jealous of the fruits! And the mole for that matter.

Built much like cranes.
Green vine snake (Oxybelis fulgidus) Too bad you didn't get to see it alive! Really neat critters.

Glad to do it! Kind of helps make up for not being able to put my college education to full use!
6 years agoIn a way, it is like the volunteering I do with Scouts. Never got a B average, which my dad required to join, then never had any male offspring... So, now that I am retired, I get to go camping, cycling, caving, canoeing, teach woodcarving, teach plant ID and other stuff. 71 and having fun!
