Steve, H. 1990 July 8 (continued) I have a live Bothrops marantius to return alive to Berkeley, brought in by a local conservation group a couple of weeks ago from Gilmanate. The snake looked so heavy I thought it might be gravid, but today appeared a substantial mass of feces (saved). Today I held an adult Dendropidon murinus by the tail, and it twisted free by breaking a piece (38g, 531+291 mm originally). The autotomized piece (2g, 181 mm) wiggled sinuously (same form of motion as I observed in Urothera and Enulius) but slowly, and slowed within a few seconds to faint movements. At 1:06 minutes post autotomy the tail stopped moving, and at 2:29 minutes it wouldn't move when pinched. Michael Fogden told me he has observed this species to break the tail when handled. July 10 Yesterday after lunch Wendy and I went in the OTS car to San Jose for dinner and a movie. Returned this morning with Alejandro Solozano, and from 1500-1700h he and I walked CCC to CC, SUA, and back by SHO and SOR. Saw no cat tracks and caught only Sphenorophus cherriei. See also July 13. July 11 Wendy Roberts and I walked CES, LOC, SSO, CCL, and back via SOR - saw only Felbus. A quote from Wendy: "There's nothing like a small woman chugging up a hill to keep the guys grinding ahead."
