Beautiful pictures. Thanks

Wow
Jamaica sure is a beautiful place, Although the snake kind of starled me. Praise be to the Most High for beautiful Creations

What kind of snake is that in the last picture? They are not around the rest of the island are they? I thought that the island was snakeless because mongoose ate them all. Also, are there the "40 Leggers" around Treasure Beach (like in the coves)?

Jamaica oh beautiful Jamaica!
It is sure a beautiful Island.
Thank you Miami Herald for the wonderful work you did for us .

Paradise.
Miss it more and more.

See also http://www.cockpitcountry.com for exhaustive info on the area, including the yellow boa. The area is now threatened by proposed bauxite mining exploration (see today's Gleaner).

Looks like a boa. I've seen 3 in 20 or so trips to Jamaica, only one that was alive.
