Neonate, maybe a couple weeks old. Slow on cold rocks on a cool morning. Glad to see a new generation.
This record is for the snake. See https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/193203033 for record for the rodent
It had a painted tail and radio transmitter
Coralillo de alrededor de 40 cm de largo
Intergrade Listed as California Kingsnake because Inat follows the latest work, that I don't agree with as saying these are Cal Kings and we all know it's a intergrade. Please follow that so it remains research grade. Thank you for your understanding.
Found on the side of the trail in the evening. Little bit of wind with some warmth
