Another night of cruising tonight, 9 snakes in all. Mostly mojave rattlesnakes (3 AOR, 3 DOR), but also a southern pacific AOR, DOR gopher, and an AOR glossy. All were babies except the gopher, which may have been a year or two old. One mojave had 3 segments on its rattle, that was the biggest one. Id say the others were 10 inches in length.

Here one of the mojaves:

Here is the helleri, which had a belly full and was looking to rest for the night.

Finally, the baby glossy, which was found near the end of the hunt past 10 pm.

Nice pics! I also found (and rescued) a helleri today, along with a San Diego Gopher, and a Cal King.
Heres a pic of the helleri!

Nice one! Pretty light in color too.

Nice helleri, I love the light coloration.... it so different from what we find... Thanks for sharing!

Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity." - Lau-tzu - Tao Te Ching

Never tried there. These were found out near the poppy field. We have found mojaves out on the roads heading out of Lake LA though.
