Notes

Found within a few feet of the boa pictured (As Found). Both Snakes were traveling parallel to each other in opposite directions, with both traveling parallel to the busy road. (On there own HWY if you will.) Not a common sight to see two different species so close together with the same habit of not wanting to cross the road, yet follow along side of the road. Both snakes were observed to continue traveling along side of the hwy. *Habitat is NOW protected Forever* as this area was recently purchased by the state for Anza B State Park..

Oh wow, I was focused on the boa in the front and completely missed the rattlesnake. My bad.

I think you uploaded the wrong picture. Doesn't help that I didn't read the notes either.
