at 9:26, right after stopping to chat with "tank", I got a nice dark gray, black-headed, alterna morph female. 33", ovulating. She has 15 primaries, no noticeable orange (there are a few orange flecks in the last four or five bands near the vent, but you have to look very closely to see them), and only 3 alternates in between the first four primaries. She was coming down the east side of the road huge cut north of the picnic area, about 15 feet off the ground. Except for what I assume was a checkered garter in the driving rain just west of Rocksprings, she was the only snake I saw all night . . . although I called it quits and headed for home (Camp Wood) at 10. It was raining lightly but steadily when I caught her, although the cut face was still fairly dry.
