Kelbaker Road from Hwy 40 to Kelso,
San Bernardino co., CA.
Shovel-nosed snake. We also collected a
small dead sidewinder that had been
hit by a car.
This is the second night of the full moon
but it is completely overcast and the moon
didn't rise until until 2030 PST which may
be why we found so many snakes in the
early evening.
On Kelbaker Road between Hwy 40 and
Kelso we found two long-nosed snakes,
one on a dirt part of the road near the
highway and the other on the pavement
near the substation (species account: Long-Nosed
snake). We also drove part way up Vulcan
Mine Road and on the way back down found
a kingsnake crossing the pavement (species account:
Common Kingsnake ). Then we went home to
Dorner's Camp for the night.
* We also found a dead long-tailed Brush Lizard
on Kelbaker Road north of Vulcan Mine Road
(species account: Long-tailed Brush Lizard).
