Awesome post man. Looks like you had a succesful fall. Love the pulchra, klauberi, and that pretty speck. both the pulchra and klauberi are 2 of my goals for this year but I think it's gonna be pretty hard if this drought keeps up.

Awesome post man. Looks like a pretty successful trip. That pic of the neo klauberi next to the lighter is crazy. I had no idea they were that small as babies.
I need to make it out there one of these days. Maybe next summer.

Got out for a little bit on Thanksgiving day and today. Couple kings, some ringnecks, and quite a few lethargic helleri. It's pretty dry and crunchy but our rainy season hasn't really gotten into full swing yet. Fingers crossed for a wet winter and not a repeat of the last 2 years. The herps need it...

Nice job on the ensatinas. I've been thinking about getting out these past few days looking for those in particular, especially with the rain we've gotten. The area I'm looking at in the San Gabes is 2,000 elevation and further west and a little inland (but still pretty much the coastal slope) from ...

Re: Low Desert Cabazon To Blythe this weekend opinions?
Seems like it would have been almost too hot and dry for most desert areas this weekend. It was 80 degrees @ midnight in the high desert with not much wind either where I was at. I did see a live gopher snake and a scute, and 3 DOR of each last night though.

It's the most I've ever found in a single day personally. They're the coolest lizards in California, IMO. Some of them match the soil color and chaparral...
