That was amazing! I wonder if that snake made a meal of woodpecker eggs or babies. The woodpecker was obviously a Campephilus relative of our Ivory-billed Woodpecker. Was the snake venomous, I wonder. I didn't note in which Latin American country that was taken, if it was given at all.

This video is fairly new to YouTube and it's pretty incredible.
