Eyelash Viper in Costa Rica
Bothriechis schlegelii
The most reliable place to see the eyelash viper in Costa Rica is the Caribbean lowland rainforest around Sarapiquí and La Selva, best Apr–Oct. A small arboreal pit viper that coils on heliconia and palm bracts — found on slow night walks, where a guide’s eye for a coiled snake matters more than the season.
