While bird watching on the field a friend saw this boa on the road. We automatically went towards it and it slithered slowly into the dry forest. When approached a little closer, you can see that he was sticking its tongue out. This boa looked pretty chunky, which I assumed meant that it was well fed. Continued to slither away into the dry forest, and the dry leaves on the ground allowed us to hear him disappear.
