Marty’s photo of the day #5121: It wasn’t easy to take a photo while holding a camera in one hand, with a venomous snake crawling on my other hand, in the rainforest, in the dark, but I did it.
This little cutey is a brown blunt-headed vine snake. Its venom is potent enough to immobilize the small lizards and frogs it eats, but it’s harmless to most humans.
