Notes
San Bernardino Mtns. Shows sings of "Zonata Disease" I have found 2 other Z's at this outcropping/hillside that also showed signs of this disease. This one had minor buffed/scratched eye's, and wrinkle skin, movement was fine though, didn't crawl sideways at all.

Yea, not good at all. I remember in '07 Randy Limburg telling me he had found some in 2 different ranges that showed Z disease-(the San Berdoos was one of them) and at that time I had never seen it in the field and always thought it was just something in captives. Paul Lynum told me he saw a pair under the same rock and both of them had signs of the disease, also from the San Bernardino Mtns.
This isn't good at all. Can you keep your eye on this population over the next few years?
