Hello again,
Sounds good to me.
I live in Mesa County. And I have collected them in Mesa, Garfield, Delta etc.
Actually, a good friend of mine (Larry Valentine) is cited in Klaus Deiter Schultz's book. Klaus came to visit Larry in Delta County. They collected some "intermontana". You may also note that the locality data listed for several photos of the specimens in Klaus's book are Delta County animals.
These are photos of the same animals that were collected when my buddy Larry and Klaus went hunting together.
I have collected numerous "intermontana" with Larry Valentine at the exact same locations. We have also found them in many other locations. They are wonderfull (and under-appreciated) snakes. I am happy to see that these snake have a devouted fan club! They have a subdued beauty. In comparison with the eastern form of emoryi....anyone can see a profound difference.
Ahh....Variety! The spice of life.
Great Photos! Your post certainly has brought back a multitude of pleasant memories. Take care.
Your friend,

Give me a call the next time you head out to the Western Slope!
I'd love to bring you to a few locations that you will LOVE to photograph! Who knows...with a little luck...we may get to play with a few "intermontana".
