Thanx for sharing!
The coral was road cruised. Unfortunately, that night was just starting to get hot movement wise. Sadly though, we needed to be back into town as our flight home left Tucson at 9am the next day. I had a gut feeling a few more passes on the road we were on would have yielded a tiger rattler and a green rat snake. I was hopeful for the green rat as I'm in need of a female, though at that point I'd be conceding to not actually pairing my male to his given locality. The area could have produced other lifers for me, and it did earlier that same day. Definitely a hot spot of activity, which probably was helped by the incoming then Hurricane Newton out in Baja. Stuff out west tends to move as low pressures come in.
