I saw this little dude (ahem) hanging out on a big dead tree trunk and was wondering if anyone could identify it.
Thanks! |

| Well by the looks of the head it's on eof the large constrictors, a python, boa, etc. If the head was 6 inches across, that IMO limits it to one of the python species. Not sure which one. Where DID you take this? |

| It was taken in a tropical dry forest region (Rincón de la Vieja) of Costa Rica. |

| I think central america has boa's, not pythons ... just a guess though |

| 95% sure it is an "Imperator" Boa which is pretty common in Costa Rica but I'll try to nail it down. |

I believe that rscorp is correct in thinking that this is an Imerator Boa. They generaly tend to be a little more red. However it does look like an imperator. As far as the 6 inch head this is not uncommon :) Boas are cousins to the Anoconda.
