Notes
We spotted them a few feet away from each other... but at different times. Small about 16" Long... Neonates... no noise when rattling.
Found 2 of these... but these pics are of the same atrox... This guys was about to be picked up by a few people on the road... so I told them I was keeping it. Ended up donating him to the CALM zoo in bakersfield... turns out their specimen had just died.
