Here, H. 1982 19 March (continued) Mastigodryas melanolomus, 18 March, 11.5g, SV338, tail 102 has juvenile color pattern M. melanolomus, 18 March, 47g, SV590, tail 221 spots still clear but hard to see because colors are same as ground color. Rhadiraea decorata ♀, 16 March, 8.5g, 217mm, tail 132 Enycholampus minimus ♂, March, 80g, SV611mm, tail 108+(?) Zaplophis depressirostris, 19 March, 150g, SV1025mm, tail 600mm L. nebulosus - just brought in by Manuel Santana from near the AC Lab. Has swelling in stomach, but I can't get it out. 18g, SV430mm, tail 280mm Eumilica boudini, 18 March, 34g, SV75mm NB: When handled for measuring, the subadult Mastigodryas bit readily; the big L. depressirostris squealed and inflated and struck repeatedly. After dinner went on a grasshopper census w/ Beth Braker. Just as we started, P. DeKies found a small Bothrops schlegeli ~2m up on a small tree beside the East River Road, ~100m (?) from the station. It was loosely coiled, resting tentatively leaves of a vine growing on the tree. Didn't rush off when lifted free, but thrashed and bit sideways when restrained. Color very reminiscent of the Sibon longifensis which was found nearly in very similar circumstances a couple of weeks.
