Freeze, H. 1984 5 July (continued) very skinny w/ a stubtail. deflated, gaoped, and bit when handled. This is the second really skinny Pseudos I've seen in a week (other was caught by someone in the Reje Baje grove) and they are the only obviously emaciated snakes I've ever seen here. 6 July We inserted a radio in the 2.08m Lachesis muta from the CES on 3 July, released it the afternoon of 4 July, and failed to find the signal the next morning. Today, morning Manuel located the signal at a burrow, perhaps of Dasyops. Last night he saw the snake, a 2 m out hunting nearby and early at 0922 h I can't see the gravid Bothrops asper ch.4, but get a signal from the same freefall; overcast, 26/30. at 0926 h I spotted a part of the body, now behind a big branch laid on the SE side of a standing tree and still against the same fallen tree trunk, <1m from the previous site. At 1001h the snake is same; overcast; 26/30; air 26 C; ground 25 C. at 1030 h snake is same; overcast; 27/30; air, 26 C; ground, 25.2 C. I stupidly spilt from inside my mosquito net. [Forgot to note that I got stung by a bala, Pezaponera clavata here yesterday. I saw it go down my pant leg into my boot, grabbed for it, and felt a sharp, hot, interesting. Jim Rieser said I was dancing around like a cossack!] At 1038 h it is getting sunny. From
