This is an arboreal, nocturnal snake that is considered abundant in this part of Peru at least. Yet somehow I had managed to see 16 Imantodes cenchoa in the area before I finally saw my first one of these. This individual was spotted by our local staff member and eagle-eyed snake-finding master, Edvin.

Here is a complete list of the herps I saw in the wild on my 2014 MT Amazon Expeditions trip.

Cliff Bernzweig found this napping beauty while the two of us were unsuccessfully searching for glass frogs.

I spotted this cute li'l snake non-photogenically draped in some roadside vegetation after I and a bunch of fellow herpers got out of our road cruising van to check out the contents of a pond. I think some of the others might have gotten good photos of it.
