Notes

Found under rock. Habitat status unknown...


As often found in the mountains, very large and light green Ringneck snake.. I have often seen a number of LARGER than normal sized ringnecks in the mountains of So Cal.. It is my belief its because
they eat skinks, many of them are light green like the one in the picture. I often wonder if DNA would revel a different sub species..
