Hell yeah
great post Ross! Looks like you got a nice
cold-blooded welcome back into the field. I miss seeing posts like this... Where you're not just looking at photos of snakes and things, but actually some shots of habitat, AC, flips and in hand shots. More of a field herping post as opposed to photography of field herping.
That gartersnake looks like a beast. Reminded me of my lifer gigas. Coiled up just like that over in the corner and a very unexpected find. Fairly large one too. Even now I rarely flip them. They tend to stick with the holes and just surface into the grasses for warmth. Congrats on the tantilla. (Talk about glowing snakes
) cool that you included a belly shot. They have one of the coolest looking bellies of all the ca snakes and I never get to see any shots of the bellies. I've still never found one. And that last king looks amazing. What an artistically badass pattern
Just a friendly reminder... now that you're getting back into the field, don't forget there's something lurking out there more dangerous than Hellery. Ms. Oak is creeping & seeping. I went out last weekend. Man, she got me from elbow to wrist on both arms, Knuckles and fingers, and where the sun don't shine lol I think that might have something to do with my Dreamcatcher reference over on Nick's post as well
I'm covered in the s***

Thanks a lot, Porter. Glad you liked it. I hope I don’t see Ms Oak any time soon.

Awesome post and pics. Love that King!! Kings are my fav CA snake and never found anything close to that beauty. Never had chance to herp that part of state (used to live by Sacramento) so enjoyed seeing animals I'm still on hunt for.

While I am not an expert in Latin, isn't that a typo in the title? One of the most...colubrid(s)?

You might be right. I was debating that one word if it should have an S or not.
