Today I read that there are 135 different species of snakes in Costa Rica but that the likelihood of a face-to-face encounter with one of them is rather small. Well, statistics aside, yesterday I came face-to-face with boa number 2. This one was compliments of a young neighbor who brought it by the house for us to see (the arm in the photo is hers – not mine). So, although I have been told that the boa is not dangerous to humans, odds are I will do a lot more reading about this animal before my next encounter.
