Notes

UAZ Collection #s 27929, & 27937 - 27942. A gravid female was collectrd at the above location on the date given by another collector. It was captured using snake tongs and placed in a capture bag. When the bag was opened within an hour, she was discovered dead. In an attempy to save the unborn snakes, all six were removed but without signs of life. They appeared within days if not hours until birth. As they were given to me in this condition, I preserved and cataloged them as individuals.
