Yucatan Snail-eater (Sibon sanniola)Merida, Yucatan, MexicoAfter a rainstorm, I decided to go out and see if I could find a salamander. I didn't find any amphibian at all, but to my surprise, found this one under a rock without expecting it at all! It was very small and beautiful. Completely inoffensive, it didn't try to bite at all, and I must admit, I did annoyed him/her a little bit with the camera :P
The rough green snake (Opheodrys aestivus) is a nonvenomous North American colubrid. It is sometimes called grass snake or green grass snake, but these names are more commonly applied to the smooth green snake (Opheodrys vernalis). The European colubrid called grass snake (Natrix natrix) is unrelated. The rough green snake is docile, often allowing close approach by humans, and seldom bites.
This is the heaviest viper, and also has the longest fangs and most venom. It is native to Equatorial Africa, but this one is at the Serpentarium in Mendoza, Argentina.
