A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Contia tenuis
California Coastal Chaparral with mixed Live Oak and Bay
A relatively common snake for this area but this is the first one I've seen in an area I've searched for the last 20 years. This individual was encountered twice under the same rock over the span of a week and a half.
