July 19 (continued) Coisas since the incident was divined and that snake has a catholic diet.
July 21 Returned from San José just after noon by bus (soccer game playing over the radio), having seen Wendy off on a plane yesterday so she can attend her friend's memorial service.
In the interim Andell Mitchell processed 4 snakes: Epilotes pullatus (520+155 mm, 30g, ♂), Leptodeira septentrionalis (570+166 mm, 33g, ♀), Leptophis ahaetulla (800+476 mm, 65g, ♀, perhaps 4 eggs), and Boa constrictor (570-- + 77mm, 90g, ♂). Another somewhat smaller boa was also found w/in the last few days in the workshop (and this one on the suspension bridge) making us wonder if a litter was dropped somewhere near the corridor. This afternoon my roommate, Gustavo Vargas, was attracted by frog calls to what he thought was a small Lachesis holding a cream or brown large frog -- he has a photo, hopefully, which might resolve the identifications. At ~2200h I passed through the Cantarana Swamp -- water is >=30 cm over the boardwalks, but no rain since this AM. Hyphaeobatrachus & H. logarix calling; 1 ♂ Agalychnis saltator on a palm leaf ~1 m above water. An Adiantodes inornatus of same size in same place as on July 16: on horizontal branch of wood ~10cm from the main trunk, posture as before.
Last night Devin Graham found cf. Synbranchus wiggli in the ditch beside SIRE ~400-600 m, TL~15cm, which I will use for frog egg palatability trials.
