Of course we stopped at Borodubango
in Cerroza. This is probably the most
pleasant spot on the coast.
We tried might driving north of
Hermosillo, but meant we poor enough
that we stopped after 40 miles. We found
only one DOR Coluber flagellum and
and LOR Crotalus atrox. The color is
black anteriorly and tan posteriorly; a
most hybrid looking beast. Possibly
this is an ontogenetic effect.
Aug 21, 1950
Driving north this morning we
encountered the following snakes on
the road: Thamnophis eques (DOR) and
Salvadora hexalepis (DOR) both 34 mi
S. Santa Ana; Coluber flagellum
specios DOR 37.1 & 19.4 mi S. Santa Ana
Thamnophis macrostoma DOR (not saved)
25.2 mi S. Nogales; and Pituophis
catenifex DOR (not saved) 8.1 mi S.
Nogales.
The first Coluber is an adult
in the all black stage. The other
is a tan juvenile with only one or two
faint blotches on the rock.
