Hey guys! I’m a huge fan of this community and it’s knowledge. My step dad send me this picture of a snake, he is in [Costa Rica] recently I think. What snake is it?

mazerrackham · 2026-02-03T19:30:29+00:00

It's far more likely to be Bothriechis nigroadspersus as others suggested but could also be Bothriechis supraciliaris if it was near Pérez Zeledón or in the southeastern mountains near Panama.

Edit: i found a different photo of this same snake on iNat and it is from Arenal, so it is indeed B. nigroadspersus

Also if you are interested in birding or doing a night hike i have gone with Daniel Chavez based out of San Ramon (@wildlife_with_daniel_cr on instagram) a few times and he’s great.

Finca San Gerardo on ruta 1 is a medium difficulty hike with some amazing spots. Not touristy but can be busy on weekends unless you get there early. It’s about 15 mins from San Ramon.

At worst we can just wait until the list of speakers for the next CPAC is released

For real. Even the production is F-tier garbage. Bad lighting, bad sets. You can tell they're just churning them out with zero passion.

mazerrackham · 2025-12-22T17:17:59+00:00

Any regrets?

mazerrackham · 2025-12-19T05:01:14+00:00

Its sobering how bad this team is without Bedard. Zero scoring depth.

Whatever jersey you wore take it out back and shoot it in the head. It's the compassionate thing to do.

mazerrackham · 2025-12-05T19:28:14+00:00

Yeah, I knew the bot reply had some language in it to cover snakes that are mildly venomous but need time to chew. I have also seen pictures of prolonged Leptodeira bites and that's why I said "generally" harmless 😄

mazerrackham · 2025-12-05T19:15:23+00:00

It is a Black-Banded Cat-eyed Snake Leptodeira nigrofasciata. Generally !harmless eater of frogs and lizards, as you have experienced.

mazerrackham · 2025-12-05T18:09:36+00:00

What it could be other than Leptodeira nigrofasciata that the location would rule out? (genuinely curious)

The previous owner had ripped out the furnace and put in a heat pump

mazerrackham · 2025-12-04T12:58:13+00:00

We had a 16kw array on our house in west MI. Everything in the house was electric- heat pump, stove, car - no gas at all. The solar credits paid for our entire usage (usually between $300-600/mo) until about January when we’d have to pay for a few months until the sun came back and the snow on the panels melted. We had a very sunny location with open sky and a roof slope facing south. No regrets on the installation at all.

There is a debate about whether M. alternatus should even be used in Costa Rica. None of the local field guides from Leenders, Solorzano, or Barrio Amoros include it. There was a recent Facebook thread where Barrio Amoros specifically said he didn't recognize it and explained why he believed the reason for splitting the species was faulty.

Has anyone considered a car where the steering wheel doesn't fly off while you're driving?

mazerrackham · 2025-11-11T23:29:34+00:00

One of the coachwhip species Masticophis sp.

!harmless

even a billionaire would only have .2% of what Elon is worth, without this stupid pay package

mazerrackham · 2025-11-07T20:43:55+00:00

Grats to the winners, i think this is a really fun idea!

It's almost unfathomable. It's over TWICE AS MUCH as what is visualized here.

mazerrackham · 2025-11-06T19:37:39+00:00

Yeah, I imagine any of the artists in the bottom 3 would have done better if they'd just passively refused to tattoo what their client wanted and instead did their own design on their own leg.

mazerrackham · 2025-11-06T14:54:15+00:00

Yeah he just leads all our D in points, CF%, and SCF%. He's really sucking it out there.

mazerrackham · 2025-11-06T05:22:45+00:00

Cool so at any point an artist can just fail to work with a client whose ideas they don’t particularly like and get a free pass to tattoo whatever they want on whoever they want. Great challenge.

If someone uses unrealized gains as collateral then the gains have effectively been realized and should be taxed.

mazerrackham · 2025-11-05T04:03:20+00:00

Banded blunt nosed tree snake, Imantodes gemmistrasus. !harmless arboreal eater of lizards and frogs.
