They didn't catch anything, but found the skin of a small snake. We drove over to the other side of the valley where the sandy Tillandsia slopes are, and set traps out. Rays I set the small Shemans on opposite sides of a ridge, and Carl set 40 large Shermans in a penicilch paralleling mine on the slope.

Perhaps the geckos invade the webs & eat the spiders. There are an abundance of these tiny burrows (not more than an inch wide) but nothing seems to be in them. We plan to return soon at night to look around. I found what appear to be fox burrows in a dry ravine below the
