Janpropeltis getulus - one under
small rock on the talus slope
where we found Areides.
Crotalus viridis - 4 on NE facing
slope. One juvenile I found
under a 4x12" piece of wood
had obviously recently eaten.
Our attempt to get it to
regurgitate resulted in rupture
of the vent, exposing a
Scelopous in the gut. The
second was a large adult
under a piece of bark that
rested over the end of a
large log. Snake was tightly
coiled, facing sun; bark not
touching it. A perfect situation
for snake bite and the student
were impressed. Later a girl
found another large adult
under a board and while
she went for help a second
smaller snake crawled next
to the first.
