June 4 (continued)
off trail in dense vegetation, 980 m.
At one point I thought five people
w/ headlamps were approaching us from
scattered points, but they were just the
largest brightest fireflies I've ever seen!
Checked the next pond - 1 Sinorithis
trianguligera juvenile no Pararesolutus.
Ted meanwhile had gone to Vinh
Yen with the Natl. Geographic folks
to visit a snake market, and bought
me a huge pregnant Enhydris bennetti.
June 5
Mike, Mark Cuc, Natasha, and Nikolai left
early to attend a wildlife release ceremony
in Ba Vay, to be gone two days. Last
night Ted caught an adult Trimeresurus
muerosquamatus (♂ 745+174 mm, 97g)
which we GT implanted under light
anesthesia (≈1.5g radio, 148.716). We
released him at capture site on middle
loop road, ≈100 m from jet. with
upper loop road, ≈1845hr. Walked
down middle loop road to cisterns on
old french ruin slab to collect 10 Polypedtes
leucostepes. Walking back up we find a
T. muerosquamatus in coil, possibly just
retracted as we walked up, on edge of
road at 2005 hr, 905 m. At 2100hr
