Common tink frog Diasporus diastema

The tink frog is named after the sound it makes. The sound is ubiquitous at
night, but these tiny frogs are remarkably difficult to locate.

They say you can tell if a snake is poisonous by looking at the shape of
their pupils.
The problem is that by the time you are close enough to see their
pupils, it may be too late.
Who are "they" anyway?

"That snake looks poisonous to me -- a triangular head. (But I am not an
expert.) ... Have you seen "The Social
Network"? A quote: "There's a snake in the room!"
Dan Quinn
"I am definitely not a herpetologist, but this snake looks most like a
boa costrictor in the field guide to the wildlife of costa rica by
carrol henderson."
Phil Eastman
"I am pretty sure that the snake in the photos is a juvenile Bird-eating
snake (Pseustes poecilonotus). They get a lot darker when they're
adults
but the juveniles have that kind of coloration."
