Because [this handsome little bloke](http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?query_src=&seq_num=214190&one=T) lives in Costa Rica and he could kill you ;).

Cool - I didn’t know that some coral snakes did not even have the yellow on them at all. I’m pretty sure that is a species I never saw, even though I mucked around in Heredia just a little bit. Most of my time was spent in the area around Turrialba, although I did travel around substantially. I’m not really a snake-chaser, although I think they are cool.

Coolest snake I ever saw there was a huge black constrictor of some kind - they call them (not sure about the spelling) sopelotas.
