Heene, H. 1990 December 17 The little ? Bothrops asper last night responded to movement near the plastic box by tail vibration, rapid crawling, and bouts of 1-3 rapid snapping bites to the side or downward against the plastic - seemingly not directed. When I measured the Lampropeltis stimulosum she voided a substantial quantity of mostly clear liquid from the clowca, splatting it over a m2 or so and making a squirty sound - more coral snake mimicing? ~1/500 hr when there was some sun (but from opposite direction as when she was found) I photographed the snake at the capture site and thought her not so dramatically obvious on the forest floor. When seized she slung more fluid from the cloaca, no drop of which hit me in the eye w/out effect, and bit my hand. A clear starry night - the first impressively so since I arrived. At 1943 hr an adult ? Cnemophare fissadors (23.7g, 330+1/46mm) was crawling slowly across the sidewalk ~30m W of the Cantarana boardwalk - it squirmed and attempted to bite when seized. At 1952 hr I spotted a small adult Anartodes inornatus ~ 5m above the E. end of the Cantarana boardwalk on a palm leaf w/ multiple "leafules". Snake was extended ~ 1 body lngths out from sturk into petiole, w/body in several deep curves and head swept out ~ 1/2 of each leafule. It did not check the entire leaf surface, but rather seemd to scan the basal part as it crawled ~ perpendicularly across them. By 2000 hr it had doubled track to the
