May 30 We eat at 0800, 1400 and 2300 hrs! This morning after breakfast hunters start bringing in insects, snakes, lizards,
and two brush-tailed possums
(Atherurus we later ate the meat very
tasty). We walk out narrow path to run
on ridge protruding from the left and
out to the south. Kelly finds Microhyler
under rock at 1030hr, 925m, and Ted a
Philantus. We walked down long staircase
to pool below big waterfall visible from hotel
at. 805m (hotel is at 850m), passing women
w/ little sheds selling cold drinks and stuffed
tree shrews and ferret bodgers. Kelly and
I went to the next pond at upper end of
valley edge of town, and caught a juvenile
Sinonatrix triangularis among several seen
protruding from rock wall at water edge (93m).
May 31 We are spending morning processing snakes
from hunters. This morning's highlight
was a gravid Xenopeltis unicolor from
which I palped a rat, swallowed
head-first. The Russians gave us
a couple of dozen Trimeresurus of
3 species, from which we took live
measurements to eventually look at
ecomorphological relationships among
