Heene, H. 1987 5 July (continued) large enough it seemed to more than fill the month, and the carapace of which could easily be heard cracking from up where we stood. Once we could clearly see that the legs were removed, seemingly by either tearing or slamming against the log or both. Two large trees a few tens of meters apart were searched in less than 10 minutes, and at least two prey were caught at the second. The two seemed to hunt independently, but several times mutually approached and contacted each others' heads. 6 July A cloudy, drizzly morning - rain supposedly started ~0100 hrs. I actually thought of getting a blanket during the night. Checked the Lachesis muta at CES 530 at 1600hr - under Danasa. 7 July Overcast w/ sunny spots. Walked out to Holdridge 225, where yesterday Rodolfo saw a Bothrops asper on the trail. Saw it at 0815 hr, loosely coiled on the trail at E edge (successional plots), facing into the trail and seemingly asleep. Took pictures. It is an adult, perhaps 1.5-1.7 m total, brown and gray, and grey skinning. Judging from length and tail shape, it is a female and perhaps recently gave birth. Walked back to the CCL and went around the loop. Missed what was either a Dermaplution or a juvenile Mastigodryas when it dashed under the boardwalk at ~0840. At 0859 hr, CCL 950m,
