This is one of the better looking snakes I’ve had the pleasure of photographing — the green parrot snake. They are classified as “slightly venomous.” As such, they pose very little threat to humans. If bit, you might experience some localized swelling and a stinging sensation which subsides in a few hours. Luckily, I didn’t get the opportunity to test out the experience. This guy posed for a few shots before slithering off into the forest of Madidi National Park in the Bolivian Amazon. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 340mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/40th of a second.
This is a very skinny snake. He probably doesn’t even need to wear skinny jeans to make him look skinny. But if he did, those skinny jeans would be incredibly skinny, like almost two-dimensional.

I like his pose and his green skin.
Real great shot, Sean! The pose of this beautiful snake is exceptional!
