through a little gap in them at ground level.
It was impossible to see from anywhere else!
Picked up a large piece of shed iguana
skin on the ground nearby. Temp of snake
25/30 at 1400h. At 1415h we found the big
F B. asper in her same spot, head pointed
under leaf and tail no longer visible; 27/30.
It is still sunny and partly cloudy, hot.
Manuel called Alejandro Solazano at the
Instituto Leoncio Picado. They had a Lachesis
cat of Coendou spines in it, and a scat
from a 2.08m B. asper w/ spines of Hoplonog.
At ~1630h Manuel checked Ch2 and found it still
there, head not showing; 25/30.

at 0736h I found the big B. asper Ch5 in the same
place; could see head under leaf, but tail and post. of
body were outside on the ground in a hairpin form,
not part of the main coil; 24/30. Just before noon
Ann Broke found a Polychrus guttatus F dead
on the SOR, which I preserved. It seemed very
slender but otherwise intact, so cause of death is
a mystery. Someone brought in two skinks that
turned out to be Celebes sp. and Diplglossus
bilobatus; the latter apparently a gravid F. At
2015h I found Ch5 in coil under the leaf;
couldn't see head; 25/30.
