If you see a tigre make sure and run it down eh...cuz it will come back for you...serious thing...I can carry you to people and ud hear endless stories

if they have a path they intend to take, they intend to take that path no matter whats in the way. They will come back and pass right there after you move. Known to be quite vicious but not venomous.

So is kinda you prefer to deal with vicious or venomous....scratches head...id take meh chances with vicious (although its the aggressor)...

You know how the king cobra "stands up" to its opponent...a fully grown tigre is said to do this as well...again, I'm just quoting experiences of seasoned bush men

You sounding like you counting down the days to such an experience not fcking me nah...I have enough snake stories yes padna

Telling someone eyes sharp when they don't even know what they looking for or where to look isn't very helpful.
I am not a bushman and spotting snakes isn't easy. Might be easy for hunters and seasoned Bushmen... Not me but keep your eyes peeled as much as possible. More eyes are better.

Let me share what little I know, and others are free to correct me.

Unless you hunting or sneaking... Make noise. Them snake can sneak better than you. The hope is that they have time to move out your way.

As mentioned before, black disinfectant and ammonia should be helpful. Placing it on your boots should help. Not sure if "off" or citronella oil diluted with baby oil (cause it is too strong to put on your skin directly) can also help

Areas that have snakes tend to smell "fresh" sometimes(maybe it is a musk). Easier to smell if the area is damp.

Keep whatever track you moving through clear cause snake like to hide underneath leaf (balisier and sohari). Hunters don't bother cutting these but if anyone in your group does, make sure they move it off the path if you plan to pass back on it later) or be wary of it if it is already on your path look

Remember snakes hunting too, so they tend to like areas that have water and fruits that attract their prey.

As mentioned before tigre (black with yellow underside) bad mind. It will double back to see what disturbed it and caused it to move. It is pretty brisk and will "stand up" when encountered. I hear they bite like dog (never experienced it and don't want to)

Hope you get through unscathed.

Have encountered maybe 6 snakes in total; None spotted by me. They were pointed out to me after my guides ( hunter/Bushmen) spotted them.

One fell out of a tree in the mangrove
One was lying across a track (tigre)
One hid under a balisier leaf we cut 10 minutes before (macajuel)
One mapipire was killed by number 4 in my group after number 1-3 walked past it without seeing it. I was number 5.
Two others I just saw the tail as it was leaving the area

Hahhaahaha, I just trying to scare you... Just be alert! These things are a master of camouflage. Moving with a lil walking stick, yuh know to clear your pathway in front. Make a lil noise, is not like we have tigers and lions in T&T to attach you!

And that’s not all, we un­der­stand that while the snake was be­ing re­trieved, an­oth­er rep­tile, an igua­na walked up to the crowd to look at what was un­fold­ing.

if true, ROFL...

ROFL at the woman who said: "look how big!"

But where was the iguana?

In a video post­ed on­line by Chan­dra Ram­soon­dar, scores of li­cens­ing work­ers gath­ered around a black Tus­con SUV out­side.

How many licencing occifers working at any one point in the office? 40+ seems like alot

Plenty non-officer clerical staff...but 'scores' seems plenty still..

judging but the standard of some local reporting it's likely the author doesn't know a 'score' means 20...probably meant 'rel rel people' and thought 'scores' would fit in,lol...there are certainly not 40 or more people behind the vehicle ,lucky wasnt a 'Honda Tucson' to boot..

[pugboy]

Don’t forget it’s also an osha safety issue for staff to be working with dangerous animal on premises
So they all woulda have to stop work

[rebound]

Makes me wonder if that car was flooded in the storage yard.

They are stored in an open field up in Morvant . You can see them if you pass Massy service and going towards Vegas. It's hilly and bushy but cannot flood.

saw a pic of it on fb yesterday so it was true ...

[Rovin]

With flooding ongoing across Southwestern Trinidad, wildlife may also be trying to get to drier ground.

Please contact the Wildlife and Environmental Protection of Trinidad and Tobago - WEPTT at 341-9983 or the Emperor Valley Zoo at 622-5344 for safe removal!

This snake was spotted at Aquart Village, Penal Rock Road Friday afternoon.

Rare snake-eating snake rediscovered in Cumuto
Susan Mohammed Jan 7, 2020 Updated 18 hrs ago


The Black Cribo

The rare black Cribo snake, last spotted more than a decade ago, was found in Cumuto last week.

Also known as Massurana, and commonly known as the “Huntsman’s friend” since it is carnivorous and feeds on other snakes, it was found at the reptile rehabilitation compound of herpetologist Syed Ali on January 3.

Ali told Express on Monday that the snake was observed by his son, Taariq, 21, while maintenance work was carried out on the premises.

Ali said that the snake was captured for it to examined for research purposes, but it will be released back into the forest this month.

“This one is a female, about six and a half feet long. We suspected that it had had a meal and we will allow a few days for it to digest properly before we examine in further. It will be released afterwards because there is no point in keeping one snake in captivity. We will try to identify anything that it might have fed on”, Ali said.

He described it as a rear-fanged snake with a mild venom which it uses to paralyse or disable its prey, and squeezes it before it becomes a meal.

It feeds primarily on the dangerously venomous Mapepire Balsain, and for this reason it is known as a ‘friend’ to hunters, Ali explained.

“It does not attack hunters but it feeds on the venomous snakes of which hunters are afraid”, Ali said.

He said the snake may be rare possibly because of its specific diet, and destruction of its habitat when forested areas are cleared.

Over the last 27 years, there have been ten recorded sightings, according to an online article ‘The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago’ written for the University of the West Indies by Ali’s wife, Nalini Rampersad.

The article stated that the black Cribo can be present throughout Trinidad, but not in Tobago.

The sightings were - one at Moora Trace, Matura, in 1988; Oil Field Road Goudron, Guayaguayare, 1992; two at Trinity Hills Guayaguayare, 2008; a pair at Brasso Seco Trace, Paria, 2013; one dead on road at Plum Road, Brigand Hill, 2013; one at Moruga North (seen by a hunter), 2014; one juvenile at Cumaca Forest, Platanal, 2015; one on Chacachacare Island, 1996; one with a clutch of eggs, the article stated.

The juveniles are usually bright orange/red with a black crown and off-white collar.

“The sightings of adults are rare and the juveniles even rarer”, the article stated.
