Thanks Karen, Keith and Gilma.
Love these little guys
Cool snake!
No need to answer.
I was so intrigued I went and research it, I love PN and the spottings because they help you to go find and satisfied your knowledge.
They are quite lovely.
The rubber boa lives in some of the western US states and southwest Canada. Here's a range map showing all the areas it can be found: http://maps.iucnredlist.org/map.html?id=...

It is very interesting...I never hear about it, is it a California species?!

Thanks Filipe. It was a very calm snake and easy to handle.
Beautiful, nice texture and glow!
