Maybe it depends on which part of the Santa Monica Mtns you're in. Were your removals in parts of the mountain range where the homes were in the Valley? I do a little bit of herping up in the Calabassas/Malibu area of the Santa Monicas, and last year around July & August I ran into a couple on the same trail same evening. Early this spring I found a large mating pair of Cal Kings and a bit up a trail I found what looked to be a yearling female in the Santa Susana foothills here in Chatsworth.
