More Leticia

Our guide Steve keeps a couple of chickens at his house out in the boonies for the eggs. This beautiful rainbow boa was found in the henhouse trying to eat one of the chickens. They're not poisonous, but I still had to be careful because snake bites get infected most of the time according to Steve. So yea, that's why I'm concentrating so hard on the snake.
The tail was especially cool.
Aunt Natalia, Uncle David, and I hide under a tree stump during a thunderstorm while we are hiking in the jungle. Steve said we should take cover to avoid getting wet. That didn't work out so hot.
Aunt Natalia was very impressed by Colombia's work safety standards.
