Headed down to the Rogue River valley in search of Oregon Lampropeltis and a nice weekend of hiking and camping. No Kingsnakes but did do alright with everything else.



Pacific Gopher Pituophis catenifer catenifer











The furthest north the Sagebrush Lizard Sceloperus graciosus makes it.







I did find a nice size Crotalus den, unfortunately they all dived back into the hole before I was able to get a picture. So I'll settle for the crappy shot of a one button.







No shortage of Forest scorpions Uroctonus mordax down there.This was the largest I found.







Several Western yellow bellied racers Coluber constrictor mormon were out.







These are pretty cool Garter snakes that were found in numbers. The Pacific Coast Aquatic Garter Snake Thamnophis atratus











This is some rugged country and I'm glad I finally got to spend some time down there. Three hours away from my house I'm sure I'll go back soon!

To see this...







Thanks for looking,

Nate
