Greene, H. 1987 20 December Still raining off and on this morning! At 0656 h a workman showed me a juvenile ? Bothrops asper in wet grass beside the sidewalk just north of the bridge, but it crawled rapidly into the vegetation. Rained all day and night. There was a Christmas party, complete with "discomovil" - a disc jockey with sound system- and attended by many local ticos and their families. At 2200 I went to the Cantarana Swamps to release an Anartoides inornatus and found four more! Rain was so hard I had to take two back to lab to process them (wouldn't reach the others, etc., because they were in the off-limits area). There was a huge chorus of Hylla elachistoa , plus a few each Agalychnis saltator and 1t. microcephalus , a Smilisca bandini , and several very loud Gastrothrype pictiventris - the latter calling from in water. At 2205 h, an L. inornatus ~1m above water in a tangle of leafy vegetation (640+241 mm, 25.7g); has a healed ventral scar at #ventral scale #50. It squirms and emits a foul odor - in fact, as with all of this species I've handled, when first touched the cloaca is prolapsed and gaped while a little fluid and uric acid is expelled. Palped 4 Hylla elachistoa , 3 recently swallowed headfirst w/ weights of 1.8, 1.8, and 2.0g; and one swallowed tail-first of which only the head remains. At 2240 h I saw an adult (~maximum size) L. inornatus
