Despite temps as low as the low 60's, I have seen at least one atrox out after dark every night this week (SW of Tucson) and have not even been roadhunting. For instance, last night a mohave, two atrox and three gophers snakes were seen in one 8 mile round trip to the store (73 degrees).

No surprise to me, but lately I have been talking with some who seem to think snakes in the southwest stop everything in September. I told them I would occasionally post activity sightings here, as they go about their business year round here.
