Peru has a very high diversity of snakes! There are big and powerful constrictors, like Green anacondas or Rainbow boas. Some snakes are extremely colorful, like dangerous coral snakes. Some are deadly venomous and feared by many people, like the infamous bushmaster - the shushupe. The Amazon rainforest is a perfect environment for snakes, most species are non-venomous. We traveled to dense jungles and harsh deserts in search for snakes. In this video you will see 20 snake species from the Amazon rainforest and from coastal deserts (Sechura desert).

I gotta say the highlights for me were the Black-skinned Parrot & the Banded Calico!! Stunning footage of both phenomenal looking snakes!!

I find this film the most extraordinary and entertaining of all your valuable contributions to preserving wildlife. Showing snakes in their own environment living in full harmony with nature and harassed by no one is very rare. I don't miss any commentary, I prefer reading your informative lines. So a big thank to you once again. Alas, I am very much saddened by the fact when these pristine rainforests are cleared, normally burnt to the ground, all these wonderful creatures are gone. š¢
