Our rescued snake count is up to 46….including three boas, one coral snake, one hog-nose viper and one vine snake.

Check out this howler monkey video to see them jump from tree to tree behind the C & J gardens. This other howler monkey video shows a common sight for the people staying at C & J Cabinas in Playa Chiquita, as these howler monkeys are found all around the property.
