Camp I. 8 March 2002. EBRG 4258 View Materials (adult female) .
A large female of 960 + 160 mm was captured in camp I in the morning after a rainy night. It has 7 supralabials, 9 infralabials, 208 ventrals, 66 paired subcaudals, 24-23-23-19 dorsals. It was perched on a branch and easily caught. It contained a rodent in its stomach. This snake was not aggressive. The Ye’kwanas were really frightened while we handled the snake. They called this snake kinoto, one of the representatives of evil in Ye’kwana lore.
