Just out and about on a sunny evening

@jmaughn Maybe? No red on it. Signage around the preserve mentioned two-striped garter snake, but I think this isn't it.

Found on muddy bank in Yolo bypass

Thamnophis at NCOS. At 34.42058, -119.88093. Interesting because it may have survived the rather complete habitat recreation that occurred here 5 years ago. Or it colonized from nearby?

Serpiente, reptil

Giant Garter Snake. Approximately 40in/100cm

Comiendose un Bothrops asper

Found and shared by a volunteer.

Cannibalization of one snake eating another of a similar size of the same species. It appeared to be having difficulties finishing the meal but I wasn't able to observe long enough to see the outcome.

It's eating a Tropidolaemus subannulatus.

A newly described species endemic to the Levant. Formerly know as Elaphe sauromates.

ssssssss

Neonate, maybe a couple weeks old. Slow on cold rocks on a cool morning. Glad to see a new generation.

Counted 13 buttons on this snake--an old timer.

Pretty sure this is a hybrid rattlesnake. I believe it is between Crotalus ornatus and Crotalus viridis as both occur in the area and this snake displays characteristics of both.
