I saw it Steve. Had poor 'ol Eddie on my mind the whole time ::)

Whoa! That little rattler does look inbred with a Moccassin. And it looks like he likes the Termite piles. This place is covered with Termite piles. One of the Technicians here is supposed to show me his collection of rattles tomorrow.
I've got to walk and take pictures again this weekend of another creek on the west side of the project. So far the weeds, and insects, including spiders look like the ones in Florida. I was told today at lunch there probally wouldn't be many of the nasty snakes on these three ranches I'm on, except around the creek ::) ;D

Hmmm, after after drinking that water from that two hundred year old septic tank where they kept the slaves, you might get the idea, they are after you. Oh no,......no snakes around here ::)......maybe by the streams. ;) You should just wander around the jungle for awhile. ;) Oh sure you can pick up those caterpillars 8)......oh and that scorpion too. :o See that little black and yellow frog, they make nice pets..... ;D Hey, let em see you eat a bug! ;D They will be bringing you all kinds of bugs after that! ;) Well do be careful down there those Bushmasters are supposed to be aggressive. :o So don't be peeking down any termite mounds, on the ground or in the trees. ;) We had the termites in the trees in the Virgin Islands. They would build big nests in the crotches of the tree, and have several mud like tunnels running down to the ground. Aggressive little boogers. Well be careful you don't open up a tool box, and find a couple of snakes, that they thought you would like to see...... ;D Oh, yeah, in the Virgin Islands there aren't any snakes, except for what they call a blind snake, and it lives under ground mostly, and is harmless. Sort of like our glass snake, or legless lizard. The Mongooses that they brought in to kill the cane rats, ate anything they could catch, except the rats. The rats are nocturnal, and the Mongooses are diurnal......anyway, sounds like you are being treated well, just don't go catching any weird parasite......Wouldn't want to see you come home with a third eye on your forehead, or anything like that. :P

I've been keeping up with this thread ever since I noticed it today Eddie ;D. Very interesting stuff you got going on down there - keep the pictures rolling. It's like watching a Nat Geo program or something. Those look like the far southern variety of diamondbacks. I liked that purpleheart hoe handle too, hehehe....
Diligence:
I just had to Google Earth Patrocinio to see what it looks like.....sure lots of irrigation fields...and seems to be right adjacent to an acient meteorite strike (directly east of the city of Patrocinio). Very cool!
...and I have to mention that the quality of imagery on Google Earth for right around the city area seems very good....if we look close, we might be able to see Eddie stalking the rivers...lol
Eddie - you should give us your Lat & Long and we'll provide supervision from the air....lol
