mi E. of Christmas Circle, Borrego Springs,
San Diego Co., California
Found adult C. cerastes at 8/18:30. Sunny,
partially cloudy, windy. Snake was cold
and didn't rattle or struggle. It was
under a piece of thin plywood 2x2 x 3'.
The snake was coiled and partially buried.
It was at the west edge of the board,
facing the sun. The board was flush so
snake wasn't directly exposed to the sun.
The board was a few meters off the
raised dune, on fine sand among creosote
bushes.
