Three juveniles examined – below black with pale speckles on throat, above black with greenish-gold tinge. Discovered beneath rock rubble at cavernous location near waterfall. Water rained down from cliff face creating a wet situation. Two small juveniles located among wet rocks, while larger specimen detected in somewhat drier situation. Found under rocks resting atop other rocks, and under rock lying over crumbled granite.
