Awesome

Gopher snake killed a small ground squirrel or other small ground rodent before dragging it into a hole in the ground.

Sponge crab? Shell was soft to the touch.

No clue on the ID, looking for someone to correct me

Same King Hayden and I had cruised a few weeks ago. Crazy that it happened to get fatally hit on the next night I cruised this area. Such a bummer.

1600 feet elevation, 75°F. The day was a high of 84

A known locale. Found under a rock in the river. This was the only individual we found.

Thoughts on subspecies? Valley garter or maybe intergrade?

This observation is for the bottom individual.

Dead, on Cow Creek Road. 21 inches SVL, 24.5 inches TL
