Notes
This one adult female was found beside a lake area, within 4 feet of another individual that appeared to be a male that dove straight into the water upon my approach. A third specimen was also spotted approximately 2-4 yards away much longer and leaner, perhaps a male as well, although it is not certain. This female was very thick and relatively calm compared to others of the species I had seen, combined with the location of the girth leading me to believe she was gravid.
