Natalie,
A few years ago I examined the Rubber boas in the preserved collections at the major institutions in Calif. There are a reasonable number of boas from Marin Co., Mt. Tamalpias (sp?) are I believe. The species occurred in San Francisco county as well and may still be present if there is any suitable habitat remaining. For instance, they have been found in the Army installation called the Presidio.

I recall the species occurs near or along the coast in Sonoma County. I am presently maintaining 5 subadults, obtained as juveniles, and two adults from northeastern Sonoma county in the greater Mt. St. Helena area.
