I am absolutely up to my neck in Eastern Milk Snakes and Garter Snakes. They live in the walls of my house. This one was about 2.5 feet long, but I have great pictures of a full 4 footer that I found shedding in the insulation of my oven...lol

I wouldn't believe them. The shape of the head gives it away as Lampropeltis.

You're obviously just not in the right place at the right time. Like the folks that made this video, I didn't have any problems finding snakes when I visited Texas but I did have to go out at night and find them on, and along side the highways. Plenty of Trans pecos rat snakes and rattlesnakes is what I found, just like the video shows, along with lots of different lizards. I was in the middle of nowhere though, that might have been a factor.

Headed down to the Rogue River valley in search of Oregon Lampropeltis and a nice weekend of hiking and camping. No Kingsnakes but did do alright with everything else.

Pacific Gopher Pituophis catenifer catenifer





The furthest north the Sagebrush Lizard Sceloperus graciosus makes it.



I did find a nice size Crotalus den, unfortunately they all dived back into the hole before I was able to get a picture. So I'll settle for the crappy shot of a one button.



No shortage of Forest scorpions Uroctonus mordax down there.This was the largest I found.



Several Western yellow bellied racers Coluber constrictor mormon were out.
