several kilometers in, climbing the second ridge, we broke off the trail to explore some of the steeper terrain. just a few hundred meters in, sz almost stepped on this, placing his foot only a few inches away. at the time, we were unaware as to what type of snake this was, or what it was capable of. we sidestepped it and moved on. as it turns out, it is a relatively harmless snake, non-venomous and generally not confrontational. this specimen was remarkably confident, giving up no ground nor making any attempts to flee. while we referred to it as "he", we had no idea as to the actual gender. en.wikipedia.org
