Baby Rubber Boas
Got out of class early this morning and had a feeling that the weather was good for snakes. About 68F in SF. First went to my racer spot about 15 minutes outside of school. Nothing but a few ensantinas. Wanting to find some snakes, I headed further south. Well, at about noon, the temps were about 72...

Richard, Thanks for the information. It was just puzzling to see two boas, especially a large, robust female, when it was really hot and dry. Funny enough, speaking of the tissue sample scar, in one of my pics, you may notice a black scar on the ventral-underside of the female...I wonder if that one...

interesting. thanks for the clarifications.
Mitch- are zonata zonata and multicincta considered the same animal within the "intergrade" zone, or through all ranges?
