Re: Midwesterner coming to the Bay Area.
I've been hitting up the Oakland hinterlands at least once a week, no snakes yet. The Elgaria, Sceloporus and Plestiodon are hot and active when it's sunny, though. All the usual salamanders, frogs and toads are out in force. Can't flip a log without a half-dozen Batrachoseps, that'll be fun for ya....

They're everywhere, too. Walking through Oakland and Berkeley at night (even during the day, sometimes) when it's wet, it is not uncommon at all to see Batrachoseps and Aneides walking around the pavement.

I've been finding California kings every time I go flipping around Lafayette, they're under small rocks most of the time. I've only been in the area during in the day (09:00-21:00), and not had any cross the trails in front of me.
