The blind snake
We finally meet the famous blind snake, (Amphisbaena varia), a surprising animal. it’s not a snake or a lizard, it moves like a worm. It is well and truly reptiles of the family Amphisbaenidae. He is not venomous but has too much to bother him he can bite.
Beauty with red eyes
Yesterday we identified a new crystal frog in a village stream, La Cochranela Litoralis. A thank you to Daniel Restrepo González – Fotógrafo for immortalizing this little beauty with red eyes.
Boa
Good news that we want to share, this week villagers from our village called us to pick up a Boa constrictor they found in a banana field. It is a joy to see that they have saved this species in danger, a great step forward in raising awareness of the area’s wildlife protection. Now this beautiful specimen of more than 1,5m is sheltered within the reserve.
