This savanna racer (Erythrolamprus aenigma) was a lifer for us. Although its relatively common on the rupununi savanna in Guyana. It only has a small distribution around Roaima mountains thats spread out over Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela.

Another colorvariation of the Slender tree boa!

One of the many we encountered during our last trip through Suriname and Guyana.

The Corallus hortulanus is o incredibly diverse. Different colors but often also with different patterns. Altough this individual was almost patternless with a bright yellow color😍.

Last h**ping trip, we were incredibly lucky. We found almost 20 Slender tree boas (Corallus hortulanus) in just a few nights. Most of them with iredible colors, red, yellow, orange, and all with different patterns. What a treat!

Amazon Palm Viper (Bothrops bilineata), locally called Pokaisneki. A venomous arboreal viper, found on the very top of Table mountain.

This animal was handled with specialized gloves. Don't try this without experience.

BLUE IGUANA!!

How cool is this animal?! This species is still the Green Iguana (Iguana iguana). The usual green color derives from the colors yellow and blue. If an animal lacks one of these pigments it will turn into the other color. This animal lacks the yellow pigment (it's possibly axanthic) and therefore turned blue! Together with and
we were able to make some good pictures!

This juvenile was found recently, he's had a though life already as you can see he's missing some toes. And guess what! We found an adult blue iguana two weeks later! What are the odds!?Unfortunately that one was high up in the tree and I was unable to make a good picture.

How cool are these?? Slender tree boas (Corallus hortulanus) are always amazing to find, because they can be so variable in color. These three juveniles even include a melanistic (black) one!

Reticulate worm snake (Amerotyphlops reticulata) is a snake that spends most of its life underground. Therefore it can be a very hard species to find.

After flipping many logs and stones our guide Jean-Pierre R. Veira managed to find this little guy under a big rock!

A very underestimated species! This Annulated gecko (Gonatodes annularis) prefers dark and cool areas in caves, near rocks, between treeroots or even under logs. Therefore he doesn't receive much sunlight and seems to have a plain color. Just shine a little light on this spectacular species and he will reveil his amazing colors!
