Arizona, A. 1987 16 August fine, and in my view unlikely to have possibly (continued) caused a bite. I later gave the snakes to Ayako English, who relocated them to East Bay M.H.D. land nearby. 27 August Tucson, Pima Co., Arizona Arrived here ~1900 hr, having left Berkeley in my new Toyota truck yesterday at 1500hr, odometer at 510.6 miles.
