Notes:
was under a coverboard and was very quick to move to the back of the coverboard, where it assumed a loose defensive posture. Let out a hiss the first time I tried to grab, but was relatively calm other than that. Had its throat inflated and would sometimes have its mouth slightly agape while I was handling it. Let out a musky smell but did not deficate. The temperature under the board was 79.8 degrees F and the humidity was 58.2% RH.
