Got to love these guys!

Such photogenic species!

1 under rock
1 in crevice

Männchen

Lifer with fresh shedded skin!

Cruised on road and released the other day.

Saw 2 today.

Stoked

Definitely a dream come true and the best moment of my herping career so far. I wasn’t the lucky one to find either of these amazing snakes but I was lucky enough to be there for it

At first I was literally thinking, “that is a python crossing the road!”
Saw 2 DOR as well on the same road.

A snake i have hiked my ass off and searched for for some time now. Beyond stoked to finnaly get this individual. About 2.5-3 feet in length head to tip of tail.

Crazy. The 2nd individual I've encountered in the last few days.

One of the two found today.

1 of 6 on this day

Typical foraging in garbage pile enjoyer

Some kids were throwing rocks at the poor snake, who I moved a yard or two away from the trail.

Temps in the low 60s F

Finally found one! Air temp about 55F, found under a rock

Lifer! Barely saw its tail disappear into the chaparral, then took about 5 minutes to track it down and catch it out of the bush. Got nipped a few times in the process. Last 4 pics are in situ

Found under rock and released. 75 degrees at 435 pm.

Found in the reeds right next to a larger, injured individual

Same individual observed here.

Found under rock.

Likely the same individual cruised in the same area days before

Same individual observed here.
