Hey, @papa-pepper! Thank you for sharing awesome photos of all things wild. This snake is pretty and I am glad to see that he is being taken care of. I had an incident just yesterday when a group of ladies came to me with a dead juvenile boa on a stick. I was so sad. It almost made me cry. Then I got upset. Then I tried to explain that boas are not venomous. but he bit me! I need a hospital
Turns out that they were trying to pick up the snake and he did retaliate and grazed the woman's arm. Not much of a mark. The folks here are terrified of anything that moves in the grass or in the trees. Trying to educate them to appreciate instead of fear is a tall order. We have an agreement now that when they see something they fear ie snakes, frogs, toads exectra, please come and get me or my Swedish friend who does know than me but is not always available.
