Nendrickson 1951 Lampropeltis March 6 1.2 mi N Fort Tejon (on Hwy #49) Kern Co., 3700 ft., Calj. Collected one individual (# ) under a 6"-8" thick x 15" x 24" granite rock on a 10° W-facing slope forming one wall of a ravine running parallel to the road at this point. The rock was in a 6"-10"[illegible] grassy area, '1/2-shaded by a valley oak. The snake was coiled up in a [crossed out word] depression in the soil which measured about 2" deep by 3" x 4". The entire rock rested on bare soil (no dead grass or litter noted beneath it). The snake was rather sluggish and made no marked attempts to escape. When placed in a jar it began to vibrate its tail, and was noted doing this at several later times.
