With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Largenose Earth Snake sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 37 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 18th most-seen of the 37 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June–August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Largenose Earth Snake in Mexico City on a given day, against under 5% in September and November–May, the lowest months. Those are among Mexico City's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against 5 mm in December.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Largenose Earth Snake sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Mexico City, in our data
Mexico City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Largenose Earth Snake sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Largenose Earth Snake is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Mexico City (37 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
