Notes
This snake was first observed in this crack in 2006, I saw it in '07, '08 and 2010. In '09, I checked it but later in the year in March and did not see it. I think it is the same snake. I have never tried to pull it out or disturb it at all. habitat shot from the day I saw it in '07,very dry. Elevation is just below 2500ft where this snake is.
