The only "safe" way to get a snake would be to collect it the normay way. Seemingly safe traps can turn into death traps real quick. Especially in the desert.

I agree with you swwit!
Besides, living in southern Cal. you shouldn't have much of a problem finding the snake you're looking for. Maybe try road cruising a little further south in Riverside County.

I know this works along the coast...
Should work in the desert too. Put in a place it won't bother anyone and check it in the wintertime or early spring. In hot weather you may have to road cruise.

I believe it is illegal in CA to use "traps". Maybe it was just cetain kinds of traps, I forget.
