Notes

This excellent Yuma-phase king was about 24" long and seemed fairly healthy. It was offered a mouse that was found nearby while we were taking photos and it ate it without hesitation.

Had rained earlier in the day. Hot and humid all night.

Thanks Brian, I thought so too. I didn't realize how cool they are until I saw this one. Yuma morph looks a lot better in real life than in photos.
