Bothorocophias microphthalmusBothorocophias microphthalmus

Jill Jankowski, myself, and some colleagues found this snake coiled in the middle of the trail we were walking. I was able to take some photos before i had to move it off the trail. Thanks to Jill Jankowski, Sea McKeon, and Jon Cambell for their help in identifying it to species.
