Wow! The snake in the pic is awesome! Do you have any more shots? Is the pattern basically a 2 color pattern? Where on earth is Skull Valley (sounds like a very hospitable place.)

Very nice Jason ! Do you have any pics of an adult?

Andy

HI Andy

I dont have adult pics. If I see any adults next time I'm out there I will snap off a few pics. Most of the gophers are pretty average in color but once in while you see a black and white/gray ones.

thats one cool lookin pituophis,would be intersesting to see how much the colour changes (or not) in mature specimens.

The locale sounds like somewhere you'd find King Kong lol

Thanks for the pic Jason.
