Notes
Yellow with dark bands; faint, orange wash and dark speckling between solid dark bands. Discovered crossing pavement. Unfortunately, a cool weather system moved into the region creating cool temperatures and Chionactis and Coleonyx were the only reptiles spotted. New moon phase, temperature 21 C (70 F). Furtunately, C. o. talpina was my main, target species for this trip and it was found.
