June, H. 1984 18 June (continued) her at the capture side at 1008 hr, whereupon she crawled 2-3 m and coiled loosely beside a fallen log with her head positioned vertically against it. For the next ~42 min the only movements were tongue flick clusters a couple of times when I moved and, at least twice, a head shake, sensing the mosquitoes and occasional flies around her head. At 1050:14 hr she began rubbing the sides of her head on the log, as if trying to shed (we knew this was imminent, as the old skin broke in a few places during capture and processing.) At 1058 hr she was stretched full length along and under the log (it was ~30-40 cm above the ground here), moving very slowly across the forest floor. Periodically she pushed her snout and sides of her head against leaves, standing stems, etc. At 1148 hr the snake slowly crossed the CCL going N, still trying to shed, with some loose skin hanging off the head now. At 1156 hr, temp 26/30, the snake was ~3 m N of the CCL, heading N. When we returned from lunch at ~1345 hr, snake was in a loose coil under a fallen Welfia frond (dry, brown) that leaned against a willow of dirt, forming a cover. Temp. 27/30. ~1415 discovered snake also moved a few meters farther N. For the next 3 hours the snake crawled slowly northward.
