The most famous frog in Costa Rica, at least one that a lot of people would like to observe! The red-eyed leaf frog! Agalychnis callidryas! Used to be in the family Hylidae now currently in the Phyllomedusidae! With 7 in Costa Rica divided in two genus (Agalychnis and Cruziohyla)
Nocturnal and arboreal frog, during the day it sleeps on the underside of a broad leaf, with limbs folded tightly against its sides to mask the outline of the body and to prevent dehydration, it prefers humid places, it's found close to water pools. It can be pretty hard to spot because of its green color and it camouflages very well, I prefer to spot them by sight and not from their calls when the males are calling the females because I can't find them like this Lol, the females are usually larger than the males and they do axillary amplexus when mating, females usually choose the largest males wich are the ones producing the loudest calls. Their clutches of eggs could go from 20-50 eggs on leaf close to water pools. Did you know that on the pacific side of costa rica they have darker colors being the ones on the Caribbean side more colorful? Their bright red eyes are thought to be an aposematic color to distract posible predators to think they might be poisonous or dangerous!

A little collection of the green vine snake! Oxybelis fulgidus! Belongs to the family Colubridae(colubrid snakes) around 700 sp thought to be in the world and In Costa we have 42 species!

I've taken these pictures during some night walks! This species is diurnal but I have seen it more during the night when they are resting on the bushes or really high up in the trees! Very distinctive pointy head and the yellowish dorsal line, also it has a bright green color(cryptic color that allows it to be more camouflaged) compared to some leptophis sp known as" fake parrot snake " that have A darker green and rounded snout. We have 3 sp in the genus Oxybelis, all of them we can find in Tortuguero, this particular one likes eating birds or rodents, it's arboreal so it likes moving through the trees and bushes, its color makes it really hard to spot, it could measure up to 2 meter 20 centimeters! It is oviparous and up to 14 eggs have been reported in a clutch.

One of my favorite ones to see, they are very chill usually, but never get to comfortable, always remember to respect these type of animals when you see them!

We had a great time during a hill tour, we even were lucky to observe an "Oropel" eyelash pit-viper, people call Oropel to the Yellow Morpho or yellow version of this species! View point in Tortuguero is one that is not there to be missed!

Bothriechis schlegelii, Eye-lash Palm-Pitviper. A venomous snake, one of the 21 species that could kill you in the country, they are nocturnal, and arboreal, it has a prehensible tail. They have eyelashes, modified scales, some hypothesis are it helps the snake to remove roots and branches away avoiding damage like scratches! They sit and wait for birds and rodents. One fun fact about them is that they can come in a lot of different colors! Not something you get to see everyday!

Green sea turtle babies! Some of you have seen the adults with me, well, those are the babies almost ready to go to the sea in a procces know as "the race of life", sea turtles are incredible creatures that needs to go through anything and everything just to go back to the place they were hatched, in this case to Tortuguero! According to the Stc maybe 1 out of 1000 eggs will make it to be 25 years old to be able to return here. We have to make great efforts to continue protecting this beautiful animals.

Wanna see something cool? Look at this beautiful boa constrictor, I was lucky to spot this beauty while doing a night walk, not very common to observe a boa here. Some of you know that I have had them in my room, in my bathroom, I'm their friend now 😅. Boas are pretty chill snakes, they can be arboreal or terrestrial as you see in the picture it's one on a brach, the bigger they are the more on the ground they will be, but even then they can climb pretty easily. They hunt a lot of different things, from frogs, lizards, rats up to a deer if they are big enough, they could go up to 4 meter on length from 4 to 6 kilograms, it's viviparous so they "give birth". .

The largest frog we have in the country! Bull frog! LEPTODACTYLUS SAVAGEI

Se distribuye en la vertiente caribe desde el norte de Honduras hasta Colombia y en la vertiente pacifica desde el norte de Nicaragua a Colombia. En Costa Rica en ambas vertientes desde el nivel del mar hasta los 1200 m.

Los adultos de esta especie son depredadores de prácticamente cualquier cosa que puedan comer, aparte de las presas de insectos consume escorpiones y una variedad de pequeños vertebrados que incluyen roedores, pichones de aves, serpientes y otras ranas. Para evitar depredación producen una toxina pegajosa en la piel. Es una especie común sin amenazas reales conocidas.

Es una rana muy grande con un hocico redondeado (machos hasta 177 mm, hembras hasta 185 mm). Los machos maduros tienen brazos más robustos que las hembras y tienen espinas oscuras en el pulgar y en el pecho. La coloración dorsal varía de gris a marrón rojizo con algunas marcas variables más oscuras. Las superficies superiores de los brazos y las piernas pueden ser lisas o con barras. El labio superior e inferior tienen barras oscuras
