I have no idea why the pics do that.

And yes, thats a greenrat. My partner and I have done some surveys on them. They are very very common. One of the most plentiful snakes in their habitat. They have habitat across much of southern Az and it covers lots of land. The problem is, they live in areas where roads are hard to make, so few roads cross their habitat.

I also produce them yearly. Thank goodness they do not have lots of eggs.

What is odd about greenrats is, the type of shelter that I see them in is rock, instead of trees. My bet is they use both and the ground, like everything else. I hope to do some more work with them this year.

Lyresnakes which are thought of as rock dwellers also use trees. Hmmmmmmmmm what do they know?

Your questions about temps is very specific and each case above has different conditions. So the answer to each would be different.

I will post a sample of temps soon. Cheers
