hmm, didn't know that they were so endangered here. Then again, some people would like to kill every snake in Trinidad that they encounter, rather than be properly educated on these animals. There's a picture of one eating a mapepire.

Saw this fella tonite.

Went to turn and saw a cat not moving while staring in the grass and a small dog barking non stop.

Spotted this in the grass, took him up one time because people done want to kill.

Wasnt sure what it was in the darkness and worst yet it got loose in the van while I was driving.

There is one pic that got the colour (kinda). Beautiful snake!

I set him free in a kinda swampy area near grants trace.

What is it? Thought it was a garter snake but from searching it seems i might be wrong?

Even though it was only about a foot and a half long it was fairly aggressive when approached in open surroundings. Only when it had stuff close by in the yard to hide behind did it retreat

The entire underbelly was yellow.

The top was a glossy black rather than the brown google shows for a vine snake. The head also wasnt as slender as the pics of the vine snake.

Searching some more it actually looks more like this.

Why do you keep spoiling every thread so? People come here to have sensible discussion and all you do is get on like a clown.

Snake is eaten in many parts of the world.

Rattlesnake in the US is about US$50 to US$100 per pound.

From Le Book of Faces:

"I found this snake in my yard, do anyone know what kind it is...?"

Poisonous or venemous?
