Belize Trip

[snakeguy101]

I have been in Belize for the past month or so and just wanted to share some of the animals I have found. This is just from looking around the bushes of the field station so I have not got as much as I would have liked but I am not complaining either.

Leptophis mexicanus

Agalychnis callidryas

Hypopachus variolosus

Smilisca bandinii

Norops lemurinus

Trachycephalus venulosus

Coleonyx elegans

Crocodylus moreltii- we caught this guy too but I had to put of the camera and focus on holding this beast down.

Hyla picta

Indicilius valliceps

Ctenosaura similis

Leptodira septentrionalis

Bothrops asper

There were more herps that I found but I did not get pictures of. Some of my colleagues have photos of them though so I will post them if I can get a hold of those photos. In the mean time- here are some awesome non-herp species that I have found.

Yes- we not only saw a jaguar but we also caught one (for the study we are doing here)- This was after we released it and the drugs were wearing off.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Otherwise, enjoy!

Wonderful pics. The first snake looks incredible,why aren't they in the trade? Also, the fact you caught and photographed a jaguar is just insane. Thanks for sharing

Great pics, thanks for sharing Chris! I was there for a few weeks back in 2002 and it was an awesome experience.
