Notes
Seen low on brick wall of house, below a floodlight, just after dusk. Was hunting a large Mediterranean Gecko, which fled on approach. Snake was caught and kept for observation. Very docile, no attempt to strike. Ate a frozen/thawed fuzzy mouse that was left in the enclosure overnight. At capture, was approximately 31g and 25in.
