I found this beautiful False Coral Snake or Calico Snake (Oxyrhopus petolarius) in the rainforest close to La Fortuna.
This snake is a mimic of the Many-banded Coralsnake (Micrurus multifasciatus). It is rear-fanged and eats mainly lizards and other snakes. Females are larger than males and can reach a length of 1 m. This species is active day and night.
