Here are some pictures of a very common local snake, the long-nosed snake, Rhinocheilus lecontei. They have an enlarged snout (imagine that) that they use to dig out lizard eggs and sleeping whiptail lizards. These are often out when other snakes don’t want to be, for some reason, so seeing one of these as the first snake of a trip can mean it’s time to head home.
