The Northern Cat-eyed Snake (Leptodiera septentrionalis) Another amazing creature on the famous "Bug-lady tour" at La Paloma lodge, Drake's Bay, Costa Rica. The guide seems to be holding this snake rather cavalierly since it is venomous. Still, he does this tour every night with the "Bug Lady" (an entomologist who wooks nearby) so he must know what he is doing.
