Dear fellow brethren (and sisters) of the Tobagonian Order!
I must say that I have been intrigued for a while about an incident which happened to me on the way to Roxborough. I speeded along from the west coast with my "trusty" Suzuki, and nevertheless managed to hit a snake with a couple of wheels. I KNOW everyone says there are no poisonous snakes on Tobago, except my native friend Brian who is convinced there are lots of poisonous and non-poisonous ones and never enters the woods and is even less happy sitting in the garden. Possibly this snake doesn´t know it´s supposed to be off limits?
It was approximately 150 cm long, british racing green on the back and sides and rater clear yellow on belly with a deeper yellow on its chin. It had two rather large fangs. I am a doctor of medicine and not reptilology, so I can´t help You more. Does ANYONE out there have a clue about this rather fascinating beastie?
