They do kinda look like poop snakes but I think they're cool. Cool sunny days equals good Charina weather. In a couple hours we found 4 Boas, 2/3 Garters, 5 or 6 Scelops and a MONSTER of a Southern Alligator lizard. Raining off and on and only high 50's.

Got out of the car and one of the first rocks produced this little girl, I always love it when you find what your looking for right away. Everything after that is just bonus!



Right afterwards my friend flips another, 2 within 10 minutes! We left that area and went on to the next, up a pretty steep logging road we stop at a fallen 4x8 sign and find thee biggest Southern Alligator lizard I have ever seen. I was a little surprised to find a Southern here, Northerns are more common.
Its funny how much attitude these guys throw.

The last snakes of the day were flipped together, two fatty female boas. These guys always throw their tails over their heads, no wonder they're so beat.
