Greene, H. 1987 26 November Tonight we had a fantastic meal: sheets for a (continued) "white table cloth," red wine, turkey, excellent dressing, mashed potatoes, brown gravy, and apple and pumpkin pies. Everyone ate 'til they groaned. 27 November At 0828 hr as I walked to up in x 2m of the F Bothrops asper, an Ameiva festiva (small adult) spooked and ran over her. The big snake jerked her head alert and I quickly slipped back to the trail, hoping she wasn't disturbed enough to move sites - she is back in the "resting place." At 1130 hr she is still there. At 1148 hr Roberto Cordero showed me a Leptophis depressirostris crawling in grass in front of Cabina #1 (mine). He said it had advanced on him, but he didn't notice the mouth open. When I seized the snake, it spun several times, attempted to crawl away fast, and thrashed laterally, but never gaped or bit. It deflected while being measured (65g, 695+400mm). At 1627hr the B. asper was still at rest - forest shady, but still easy to see. I watched her from 1713-1745hr but she never moved, although it was quite dark by the time I ran out of tolerance for the mosquitoes and went to dinner. I was surprised to find her still "resting" at 1955hr. At x 2010hr Jerry Rovner (Ohio U., spiders) called me to a F Basiliscus
