Great capture

Estimado Armando, la Bothrops bilineatus es muy similar a la lora. La bilineatus tiene dos rayas laterales casi iguales a la lora. Yo diria que la lora centroamericana es la bilineatus suramericana , sin embargo son especies diferentes. El nombre cientifico de esta especie es Bothriechis lateralis. Antes estaba clasificada dentro del genero de las Bothrops, pero los especialistas en la nomemclatura del orden Squamata, sub-orden ophidia (serpientes), sacaron a las Bothrops arboricolas y les asignaron su propio genero que ahora es Bothriechis. La produccion de suero antifidico siempre me ha maravillado. Me alegro que hayas tenido la oportunidad de trabajar en un serpentario. Muchas gracias por tu interes en esta fotografia y por tus valiosos comentarios que siempre son apreciados de manera especial. Cuidate. Yamil

Dear Don, Have a wonderful time in Southern Arizona. Watch out for the rattlesnakes. It will be nice if you can get a shot at them. Not a close up like this one. Just kidding, I know that Avoiding the rattlesnakes is your first priority. Have fun with your son in Northern Arizona. I will love to see your pictures from the canyons. Take care. Yamil
