Though he did capture one, it was only to remove it to a more remote area safer for both snakes and humans. "I'm a snake hunter, not a collector," he explains. "The last thing I want to do is hurt one. The thing I love most is to discover snakes in the wild." A Space For Snakes Costa Rica still features lots of wild spaces for snakes. The nation's government is known for a progressive environmental policy that has established the nation as a top global ecotourism destination. Over 25 percent of the nation is protected by a system of national parks, refuges, and reserves. Such areas harbor some of Earth's richest biodiversity, an abundance of species who reside astride the narrow isthmus separating North and South America. Snakes thrive in the country's wet, lush forests, as do the animals that constitute much of their prey. But to continue to protect these wild places and the creatures that call them home, we must better understand them.

Extractions: September 26, 2003 Unlike most countries, Costa Rica doesn't eradicate "problem crocs," but relocates them to less populated areas. But new tracking research suggests that for crocs, there's no place like home: 82 percent of displaced crocs returned, from as far as 62 miles (100 kilometers) away. "As soon as you let them go, they seem to turn around and head home," said Perran Ross, a biologist at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville and coordinator of the Switzerland-based World Conservation Union's crocodile specialist group. Brady Barr, a herpetologist and field specialist, and his colleagues trail and capture some of these "problem crocs," following their tracks to the river. They often pursue these massive, aggressive males at night. From small boats, they shine bright spotlights across the water, searching for the unmistakable golden shine of crocodile eyes. When they locate the culprit, they temporarily blind the animal with the lights while Barr slips a metal snare over its head.
