Orangebelly Swamp Snake (Tretanorhinus nigroluteus)Observer
gvi_tortugueroDescription
Found this snake on base and we have ID'd it as Tretanorhinus nigroluteus. Everything we have read suggests it is very unusual to see them in Costa Rica and we have certainly never come across one before. Would appreciate it if anyone is able to confirm this ID. The snake was around 60cm long. We found it on dry ground, which is apparently unexpected for this species, although we do live in a swampy area and the base had been waterlogged several days before the sighting.
