before. This Palm Viper is only found in Costa Rica and Panama, though very similar snakes are found in Honduras (also called a palm viper), and on the Pacific Islands and in South-east Asia. The green was much more difficult to photograph well than the bright yellow of the Eyelash. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 348 and 600mm. Aperture preferred program with my macro modifications. f16 at 1\/10 second at ISO 12500. I had to use -2 EV to keep the green from washing out totally in the light of my Ulanzi Photo Flashlight. Processed in Photomator. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-21157\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=21157&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-21157\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=21157&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=21157&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Side-striped Palm Viper: Frog Heaven, Sarapiqui, Costa Rica, March 2025 \u2014 After the Eyelash Viper the folks at Frog Heaven brought out a snake I had never seen before.
