Seib, M. 1984 Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico 23 Oct. astonished upon my arrival at Uruan Juarez because I then realized that I had passed up Monte Perla by several miles. Driving back, I saw that the lush forest that used to cover the hills here had been 100% cut down. In its place is the new-style of coffee. No shade trees, no leaf litter, an few leaf-litter snakes. At least one hillside still had some forest with the old-style coffee and leaf litter, so I'll probably get a few snakes here. Left after passing out about 50 plastic bags (in which they'll most likely put the sugar, etc.) and looked for a likely place to net bats. We found an interesting site at San Jeronimo, just about 1 km after the buildings, and 1 km before the cemetery (panteon). The site was a clearing with four trails entering and a nearby cave-like situation. Lots of piper for the bats to deqet. We placed a net in front of the trail to the rock and one in front of a trail leading to a stream. I then drove to San Jeronimo to buy snakes. They had 2 Bolitoglossa occidentalis, 2 Dermophis mexicanus, and 8 snakes: 2 Micrurus nigrocinctus, 1 Tropidodipsas
