Liophis typhlus (Linnaeus 1758)
Velvety swamp snake, Reinita verde, Mansé
Camp V. Not collected.
An adult female (about 65 cm long) was floating and apparently searching for frogs in a backwater of Canaracuni creek. It was caught, but died quickly and when we went to photograph and prepare the animal, it was completely rotten. Ye’kwana knows that it is harmless (see Barrio-Amorós 2003, however, for a case of envenomation by Liophis ).
