I went on a trip to costa rica with my school to study tropical forest ecology. On the plane trip there I was sitting next to some random woman telling her all about how excited I was to see a fer du lance. Other students on the trip have gone the whole time without seeing any snakes, but I was hopeful. We spotted 8 different species which I was thrilled about. Anyway, on day two I caught and handled a venomous snake for the first time. And had my buddy take a picture of me holding this fer du lance behind the head. It was awesome. The instructor thought it was pretty awesome too for the first day. Then banned me from holding any more hots. We also saw a yellow bellied sea snake washed up on the beach. I wanted to put him back but respected the ban.
