Chironius is a genus of diurnal arboreal colubrids that are found in the neotropics. There are presently 27 species in the genus and 8 of them are found in Ecuador. Photographing all of Ecuador's Chironius species took many years of searching for them; some are very common and easy to find, whereas other species took a long time to encounter.

Although Ecuador has been making headlines in the news, the country is still safe for tourism and the h**ping continues to be amazing. Here are some of the highlights from our Chocó & West Andes adventure with Kevin. Although our primary focus was h**ping, we also spent some time to photograph other animals too. Stay tuned!

Happy Halloween!

This is a beautiful black and orange poison frog species. The orange on the belly is sometimes yellow or even white. The taxonomy of this species was synonymized with Epipedobates espinosai earlier this year. Since this individual was photographed in Mindo, it used to be E. darwinwallacei. The common name can still be the Darwin Wallace poison frog, to continue to honour those scientists. It is the only poison frog in the area and it occasionally turns up on our public night walks, making it one of the more spectacularly coloured frog species that lives on our reserve. Ecuador currently has 53 species of poison/rocket frogs but none of them are dart frogs because their poison is not used to make poison darts, like members of the genus, Phyllobates, which are found north of Ecuador.

It's World Snake Day!

This is Lachesis acrochorda, an amazing viper species from the Chocó Rainforest. Encountering one in its habitat was arguably my best experience this year. Despite being venomous, Lachesis are considerably more docile than most Bothrops, and they are unique among new world vipers by being oviparous. This is Ecuador's third longest viper species, after L. muta and B. asper. These are hatchlings.

World Snake Day is all about education and conservation of snakes. Venomous snakes in particular are misunderstood by the general public. These individuals demonstrated that they were not aggressive in any way, and never attempted to bite us, however, they are dangerous so they should always be treated with respect.

In 2022, our group witnessed a Leptodeira ornata preying on what I believe is an undescribed species of Atractus. It reminds me of Atractus iridescens, however, this was much further south than they have been documented, in the province of Los Ríos. The other possibility is a weird morph of Atractus microrhynchus. We found another individual 47 hours after seeing the first one being consumed. Both were photographed in-situ.

A few more highlights from our recent Chocó & Andes adventure with Grant. Although our primary focus was h**ping, we also spent some time to photograph other animals too. Stay tuned!
