Greene, H 1990 July 4 (continued) folded tree. Thereafter I made a quick trip to CES 300 m, but saw no snakes on either walk. at least three local men, including Edwin Paniagua, have told me that snakes are in their "cuevas" now because of rain - but I've been here at rained fires (same month) and seen many more snakes. After dinner Wendy and I were in the Contanana Swamp from ~1940-2050 hr, in a slight drizzle with low frog activity. At 1944hr we spotted a Septemaria septentrionalis ~4 m above the boardwalk in the first good sized tree on the N side as one enters from the west - same size snake and general part of tree as seen here on earlier nights. The snake was near the treetop lying on branches and foliage, hanging its head and neck down through green leaves and tongue-flicking. At ~2015hr we found a large I. septentrionalis ~2 m above the water on a horizontal limb, crawling slowly and tongue-flicking, and several meters from but in same tree as first. Then we spotted a snake (same as earlier,?) snake ~2 m below where the first one was, fixed descending to a clutch of Dryobatis sultator eggs in pendulus moss. Snake tongue-flicked around the moss then repeatedly pushed its head in and ate eggs for >5 minutes, started up and away leaving some eggs, and crawled rapidly
