| Measuring the juvenile Salmon-bellied Racer |
Today was a slow day where we measured the snakes caught yesterday for one of the ongoing research projects. The Fer-de-Lance was exciting to see processed and luckily it went without any issues.
As usual the salmon-bellied racer escaped us a few times but was quickly caught
Our plant survey that afternoon was cancelled and we returned the snakes back to the cerro before nightfall.
The night walk of the cerro found Blunt-headed snakes, Helmeted Iguana and brilliant scarlet wedded treefrog.
The juveniles of this species have two white lines from their nose to down their backs and lack the red webbing. The adults lose the white stripes and gain a more speckled pattern on their back with prominent red webbing between their toes.
