.. too mild! If we don't get some cold weather and (most importantly) some rain soon I don't know what will happen.. we'll just blow away, I suppose.
.
Here's some quick pics from this morning on the north side of town. First, an adult ratsnake...
.
.
.. a closer look, very typical for the area..
.
.
This is interesting, Coluber c. oaxacus and M. t. ruthveni from under the same piece of cardboard..
.
.
Beautiful snakes! .. the Ruthven's whipsnake will not look quite so similar to the racer when it is larger. FYI. though all the books say-so, I have yet to see a Oaxacan racer in a bush or in a tree.. always under surface debris or laying out on the ground.
.
Have fun, be safe.
