Notes
This is the only snake I have found in the upper elevation coniferous forest of the sierra san pedro martir. This snake was around 8400ft elevation. In this same area, I found a complete shed of an elgaria, a section of shed from what I believe is a ringneck snake. Plus skinks and scelops were found by lifting rocks in the same area. A good sized helleri to boot!. This snake was never messed with at all, it never changed its position and was left as is after a few photos.
