"A 15 inch specimen was found at 11:20 P.M. moving rapidly across the road. When stepped on the snake made no attempt to bite. The air temp was 26.0°C. There was a light wind. The sky was partly cloudy, but there had been no rain in the past 24 hours. The moon was quarter-full. On one side of the road there was a small stream running through a large open wash 100 feet wide. On the other side there was a 20° slope covered with dense vegetation. The surrounding area was mountainous with dense vegetation."
