Paul DeBenedichi 1960 Leptodiera maculata Dec 25 8.1 mi (by road) N. Manzanillo, Colima, Mex - I got 3 of these snakes in a cleared coconut grove. The first was under a log about 1 foot in diameter and 6 feet long. There were a few scorpions with it, and one other leptole which Teddy Papenfuss got. The log was quite wet beneath and there was much g rass under it. Under the damp bark of a coconut tree stump, along with many, many scorpions, I got two more. They were coiled in depressions under the bark at the base of the tree. There were many small Eleutherodactylus with them. All the snakes were inactive until touched. Nate Cohen saw another one in the same coconut stump.
