Abstract
Ten percent of male habu, Trimeresurus flavoviridis, larger than 75cm in snout-vent length (SVL), eject a creamy white material from the vent during the measurement of SVL. The frequencies of ejection were high in April and May and low from July to September, and might be used as indicators of the maturity of male snakes and of the mating season.
