Hey Jerry, it was a posed shot. It was actually under a large-(a big rock), actually lifted it out of habit and not really expecting anything to be under it. The substrate under the rock was cool to the touch, the rock was warm though as it was in direct sunlight. It is also the nicest looking Parv I've found personally in the berdoos. In '97 my sister found one that had 33 WB's to the vent-(the one in the pic had 36)these are the 2 lowest band count parvs I've seen in the berdoos too. The one my sister found had a lot of red on the ventral too, a really neat looking snake. These 2 were found on the same hillside, just aways apart in different outcroppings, about 500ft apart. I'm hoping to see that juvi. again in the future there. Take it easy,
jeff


PS- this pic is in-situ, so to say, or as found as I lifted the corner piece of rock, it was wedged between them, I lifted it and it fell like that, sat that way and let me take a few pics, and slid right back in after putting the rock back. This same snake was found 4 days later under a different rock, a large one on top of pine needles in the shade, the snake was visible by bending down and looking under, I have a pic of that somewhere, but cant find it on this pc.
