27 November plennifrons asleep at 2m upon a Heliconia leaf
(continued) in front of the main lab (115g, 151+494mm).
She struggled, gaped, elevated tongue, and tried
to bite when seized.
28 November Sick all day, it's have been several other people.
Upset stomach, headache, weak and sore muscles.
The ? Bothrops asper was coiled in the "resting"
place at 1100hr and 1550 hr, but not visible at
either site at 2100hr. Where is she? Not pleasant
looking for her at night... Beth Newell saw a
tricolored Micrurus (?) by her cabana after
dark.
29 Novemr Feel better this morning. At 0750 hr I found the
? Bothrops asper back in her resting site. When
I moved leaves near her head, she jerked her
head up and in my direction and froze - no
tongue flicks, tail movements, etc. I slipped
away, and returned at 0757 to find her quiet
again. From at 1030-1300 hr walked the CCL and
CCC with Carmen Rojas, at at 1330 I found the
B. asper at her "resting" site, then walked to
500 m on CES and back, to 500m SOC and
back, and checked the B. asper again at 1500hr.
Walked in the Cantarana swamps from 2100-2130h
and saw a few Hylla leguayi and one small
golychmic colidryas, and photographed some
spiders, including an arboreal tarantula.
