Notes
Snake was found coiled in the shade near the entrance to a den around 10 am. When I came back by around 12:20 the snake had moved out into the open about 3 meters in front of the den and was sunning there. A large Crotalus viridis and two small atrox were observed at a den a short distance south of this one.
