Notes

Found 6 total "4" vouchered . Habitat is National Forest.
Air Temp was 58. 2 of the above boa had body temps of 62 and 67 respectively.

I would like to note. 2 years ago a very hot fire came through the area. First impression is that it has had minimal impact on the
boa populations, but many of the trees in the area dead, hopefully this will not have any long term effects. I will continue to try
and monitor the area over the next few years, and report any unusual
findings to Richard Hoyer in hopes of his direction.
