Oxyrhopus petolarius turns up for dinner at Las Guacamayas

While waiting for our dinner last night this false-coral calico snake (Oxyrhopus petolarius) turned up outside the dining room. I have not seen one for a few years now. It was one our target species during the El Niño Biodiveristy Assessment. This is the first one I have seen during the summer.
