COSTA RICAN HISTORY AND TRADITIONS

San Jose’s Instituto Clodomiro Picado is open to the public and is a fine place to learn about poisonous reptiles. The institute also milks snakes to produce anti-venoms. Important poisonous snakes in Costa Rica are the fer-de-lance, bushmaster, and eyelash viper (all in the rattlesnake family) and the coral snake. ................
