Blue Apple Herps
aka Matthew, PhD
I was in California vacationing last week and spend most of it in Kings Canyon backpacking. We spent three nights/four days in the back country. Wasn't expecting to see many herps, but saw a ton of lizards and one snake. No idea what the lizards, but the snake (I believe) is a California Mountain Kingsnake. These lizards were actually like rats; they were everywhere.
This was the only snake I saw; happened by chance, just saw a flash of red out of the corner of my eye and was able to grab him before he went under the rocks. He didn't bite or musk. Looked to be a yearling.
Anyways, someone want to help me identify the lizards and confirm the snake?
