ROFLMAO You know, it could have been worse - it could have been a Ramphotyphlops. LOL Otherwise it sounds a lot like the snake calls I do here in Florida.
I think that snakes have the previously undocumented ability to instantly expand and contract depending on who is looking at them. If it's a hysterical snake phobic, the animal grows by at least four or five feet. When an SHHS member gets to the scene, that herpetological stimulus causes the snake to shrink down to two feet in length. Isn't that amazing? Some of them change species in addition to shrinking.
One of these days I have to catch one of those giant 8' rattlesnakes I keep hearing about before it sneakily manages to change into a 2' garter snake. I think I will have to hide my SHHS card and approach the scene screaming hysterically, "Oh no, it's a snake! I'm scared of snakes!" in order to catch them in the act though.

I run a reptile safari company in the jaco/playa hermosa area, and I`m think of starting a reptile removal and relocation bussines. althogh I dont know how well it will work as the mentality here is just kill it. I think costa rica is realy becoming known to the states as a good reptile spot.

Reminds me of an amusing instance. I've been told that in GA, SE United States region that, that there are no poisonous snakes in the region with circular pupils other than the rare coral snake. So, after carefully determining that the common watersnake my niece (11) had found was a common watersnake, she trapped and picked up the critter with proper caution.
A young boy approached eager to see the small watersnake. Cupping his hands he asked her for the snake, which she promptly put in his hands and released it. He closed his hands on it and was promptly bitten. The baby snake promptly found freedom back into the wild at Lake Lanier.

LOL that is too funny. It just goes to show you that 99% of the things people worry about never happen. What if it was a Fer-de-Lance (Bothrops atrox)?
