These are a few finds I've made since my last post. I've only been out a few times, but this year proved to be much better than last year.
Coastal Rosy Boa (Lichanura trivirgata roseofusca)
This little guy looked like a stick as I passed by. I had to go back and take a second look to be sure it wasn't a boa.
San Diego Alligator Lizard (Elgaria multicarinata webbii)
Not the greatest picture, but I'm pretty hard pressed for photo's at this point. lol
Coastal Rosy Boa (Lichanura trivirgata roseofusca)
In situ. These are by far my favorite kind of shots.
Just after turning around to make another pass, I was met head on by another driver. I immediately thought to my self "I hope this guy didn't hit any boas". This was the scene I came up on 5 minutes later. :doh:
This one made a quick "U" turn as we approached. Here's the only photo I have of the snake. Unfortunately it turned out half focused.
This little fellow sort of balled up on me. He would only stay balled up if I was touching him.
San Diego Gopher Snake (Pituophis catenifer annectens)
At first glance I didn't know what this was. It looked like it had stripes. In situ. You can see the little trail he left.
Coastal Rosy Boa (Lichanura trivirgata roseofusca)
Right after the Gopher snake, I found this one. Luckily he didn't move and I was able to get this in situ that turned out to be my favorite.
As I reached down to pick him up, he went into this defensive pose.
Red Diamond Rattlesnake (Crotalus ruber)
In situ of this little ruber I happened on before the sun went down.
This photo of him didn't turn out like I had hoped, maybe next time.
Coastal Rosy Boa (Lichanura trivirgata roseofusca)
Baja California Lyre Snake (Trimorphodon biscutatus lyrophanes)
I actually found this Lyre before I needed to turn on the head lites. It was the first time I've found one in the early evening.
Southern Pacific Rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus helleri)
Coastal Rosy Boa (Lichanura trivirgata roseofusca)
This was the best I could get on the in situ. I never get tired of finding these even though I've seen quit a few this year.
Red Diamond Rattlesnake (Crotalus ruber)
These are the best photo's I could get on this guy. I left the snake stick at home. Hope you all enjoyed.
