Tenth pic down showing the male (?) with his neck totally puffed out is my favorite! What a "bad a#*" , gotta love a snake with that much personality. Nice looking snakes. I used to only see sayi in the wild but haven't seen a wild one in 5 years.

I was doing some vegetation community mapping and plant surveys in southern Utah a few weeks ago and we did manage to see one really nice great basin gopher (sorry no pics). we were headed into a region with intense bright red sandy soils when I left the project but I told my mates to keep an eye out for "red" substrate adapted individuals.....so maybe we will get some images of nice red deserticola eye candy...

will keep you posted
thanks for sharing those images
