Eyes bigger than your brain? You might be a tree snake

Searching for the Blunt-Headed Tree Snake / Fiddle-String Snake, Imantodes cenchoa, at night in the mountains of the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.

Corrections / additional comments:
00:00 - Meant to say river prawn, not shrimp.
00:32 - All river prawns on the Osa Peninsula are in the genus Macrobrachium.
01:02 - Pereiopods, not pedipalps.
02:03 - Misidentification, tentatively going with Deilelater radians instead.
02:52 - Specifically in the New World and only in the tripe Pyrophorinii from what I can tell.
05:15 - Spliced in a different clip of a larger male here late in the video editing process, which is why my statement does not make sense.
11:20 - You cannot see it in this clip, but some bats vibrate while at rest and content, but not while they are sleeping.

Chapters:
00:00 - Hancock's River Prawn (Macrobrachium hancocki)
02:03 - Headlight / Fire Beetle (cf. Deilelater radians)
03:10 - Blunt-Headed Tree / Fiddle-String Snake #1 (Imantodes cenchoa)
04:22 - Longhorn Beetle (Mallodon chevrolatii)
05:25 - Koehler's Vine Snake (Oxybelis koehleri)
06:49 - Red Postmen (Heliconius erato)
07:26 - Harvestman (Parahernandria)
08:35 - Blunt-Headed Tree / Fiddle-String Snake #2 (Imantodes cenchoa)
09:59 - Wood-Colored Mushroomtongue Salamander (Bolitoglossa lignicolor)
10:55 - Pygmy Fruit-Eating Bat (Artibeus phaeotis)
11:28 - Stick Insect (Xylospinodes jensjohannseni)
12:35 - Helmeted Iguana (Corytophanes cristatus)
13:48 - Blunt-Headed Tree / Fiddle-String Snake #3 (Imantodes cenchoa)

I went to the Osa peninsula back when I was a little kid. I saw toucans, squirel monkeys, tailless whip scorpions, Howler monkeys, sloths, red eyed tree frogs, cane toads, and tarantulas. It was awesome. I ran shirtless and shoeless through the jungle to the beach with a blue heeler named Coco. And that beach. My god. It was the most free I have ever felt. When people ask me what my happy place is, I think of Osa. I hope I get to go there again as an adult one day. Thank you for making my day and reminding me of some of my fondest childhood memories.

The two different head shapes for the snakes blows my mind. Two species that occupy the same space, but drastically different morphology due to their hunting behavior.

[existereOracle]

the title is wild... you really just straight up diagnosed me like that, huh...

[Sea_Kaay]

I like how you're just walking around picking stuff up lol
Its great

Why are most of these so calm when grabbed by a large being.

Thank you so much for the work that you put into these videos. Tons of information, factual and concise commentary, and the most gorgeous animals ever. Not to mention your passion and knowledge that shines through.
I've been introduced to so many new animals (again) and such cute ones at that! Hancock's River Prawn, the Headlight beetle, the Blunt-Headed Tree snake, Koehler's Vine snake, Wood-Colored Mushroomtongue Salamander and the Helmeted Iguana have become my favourites. So adorable! And the prawn has to be one of the most gorgeous animals I've ever seen, its exoskeleton seems to be as blue as the ocean, what a beautiful creature. What also strikes me is that blue is quite an uncommon colour in the animal kingdom, so for an animal to have such intense coloration is striking.

Thank you for introducing such fascinating animals, I anticipate your next video patiently!

I would watch you handle and describe animals for hours, you are so knowledgeable and informative.

[pomegranatejuice]

Thank you for the lovely video. Wonderful, calm narration and no distracting editing or music.

[danteslayer]

i absolutely love how absurdly specific some of those "most x of y" are.

[LiarJudas]

holy cow the luminescence of those beetles is so powerful

[ShadySheev]

Gave it a thumbs up as always. Love your videos! Just a quick note: The pincers in crustaceans are not pedipalps (1:01). They are just modified pereiopods and in Macrobrachium it is the second pair, not even the first one like in lobsters, crabs and crayfish etc.

[blueheartless]

The fiddlestings are so cute! I love how their bodies weave cool patterns!

[markrusher]

I feel so fortunate to receive videos from you. I learn so much when I tune into your website or blog if I may. Again thank you sir !!!

[alexpatyababa]

big eyes on that snake omg, you have the best job in the world 😂❤️

[mirashan]

I really enjoyed seeing those fiddle string snakes. Could probably use them as a shoelace lol. On another note, i love the way you handle these beautiful creatures. Cant wait to watch your next video!

[markrusher]

I learn so much from you that I'm gonna say I learn so much in your class. Always a pleasure with your videos.

[Ironfeathers]
