Just picked this little one up last night. (I live in Southern Oregon)
It was cruising across my father in laws hay field, we usually find a few of these there every year. This one was small enough and my daughters are very enamored with it, so I decided to bring it home. Right now it's in a 1 gallon tank with some repti-bedding and a deli cup for hiding and a saucer with water. Took a few hours, but it settled right down and is chillin and watching us calmly.
It's still very small, probably only 12in long and the diameter of a pencil.
Now my question is what variety is it? (pic below)
(Please excuse my "IT" connotation, but I have not sexed it yet, so I don't know if it's Male or Female)

Thanks for any help!
Pete
