Greene, H. 1990 November 12 (continued) Exposure was ~ SSE. "Site 6" was on an ~ S exposed rock face ~ 80 cm above ground, 35 cm wide and 30 cm high, hollow under a flake w/ the left side of the vertical cavity exposed. There was a total of 141 eggs or ~35 clutches in this site. Fresh eggs were in adherent "clutches" of 3 (13.7, 13.5, 14.1 mm), 3 (15.7, 15.5, 13.2 mm), and 4 eggs (15.6, 15.4, 14.9, 15.2 mm). 131 old eggs were typically dirty w/ slit shells and fine interspersed roots; there were at least 3 adherent "clutches" of 3, 3, and 4 eggs. Great lunch of guacamole, french fries, and fried ham! At 1630h we had a photo session w/ the freshly shed Athrois squamiger (HWG-2135), placed on a horizontal branch (~15mm, thus greater than snake) at eye level and threatened w/ a wadded large rubber band held w/ forceps. We elicited repeated gapes w/ head extended and fangs 'extended (>=6 times), body inflated anteriorly and head first drawn into a tight S-coil w/ edges level w/ or sometimes anterior to snout. There was a slight drop of the mandibles visible a second or 2 before the gapes. Twice the snake "stuck" at objects (person w/ camera) more than twice its body length distant, w/ the fangs clearly extended. 3/6 gapes were rapid - the mouth and fangs were flashed and closed. After ~5 minutes of this the snake was w/ drawing into a tight S-coil, trying to erect the head (all of this while suspendedly
