Northern cat-eyed snake (Leptodeira septentrionalis) Description
English: Leptodeira septentronalis (Northern cat-eye snake) spotted on a night walk in the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. (Our guide told us that they feed on the red-eyed tree frog (Agalychnis callidryas) and its eggs, and quickly found such a frog nearby.)
