Bathing on lava rock.

Very pleased to see this impressive snake! This was my only sighting of the species after many trips through suitable habitat.

Not the exact location, but it is in northwestern San Luis Obispo County, north of the range on California Herps

1 of 2 individuals observed. Found out in the open by @silversea_starsong.

Juvenile Southern Pacific rattlesnake found under a board.

65° cloudy morning. Snake on trail 20+ " in length

And western toad both trapped in a cellar like structure, both removed and set free.

So cool I found 2 baby gopher snakes tonight! The first one freaked out when I picked it up, but this one was calm and cuddled around my arm :)

1 of 2 curled up adjacent to each other beside rock pile

lots of racer snakes darting in the grass

I've seen this species at least 3 times at this location.

Found this guy nestled along a mountain trail at about 5500ft elevation in SoCal east of San Diego. Believe it is a speck...

I found this guy in a pond, no idea the species. Help? Thanks
