Hendrickson 1950 Iguera Nov. 4 5km N Villavicca, 1400 ft, Huila, Colombia, S.A. snare it bit me on the index finger - a square, champing bite, not a slashing one, and the force of the bite coupled with the sharp jaws broke the tough skin of the fingertip so that it bled for about 1 minute. The shape of the bite may be worthy of record: This was done with the (x2) white tip of the lizard's jaw. Temp. of lizard = 37.1°C. Air temp. (shade) = 28.4° C. Substrate (sun) = 40.0° C.
