Who was looking for zonata in Palos Verd

I live in the Palos Verdes area and have been searching for zonata there for years, based on sketchy eye-witness accounts from a long time ago. I mainly targeted one canyon that has some riparian habitat not characteristic of the area (looks more like the Santa Monica Mtns). I doubted the zonata presence then and still do now, but I look each year nonetheless.



A volunteer at a nature center told me that last week he ran into a photographer investigating the possibility of mountain kingsnakes in the area. Does anyone know who that might be? I am curious as all heck. If you're out there, I can show you an area where one was sighted (supposedly). Near there I have seen a Western skink (not a common lizard in PV at all, which makes me wonder..) and have heard reports of a night snake found there (a reptile unheard of in the area until this sighting.)
