Not So Nasty
The cateye is sometimes referred to as the "false fer-de-lance," due to it's minor resemblance to the larger poisonous snake. Aside from a couple cateyes, my only other snake on this trip was a monstrous boa constrictor. However, others staying at Sirena found fer-de-lance, coral snakes and bushmasters during my time there.
