Observation Date / Time
Unnamed dirt road in private ranch. Snake was spotted by the car in front of us, which stopped short of it, causing us to stop and see it. Almost certainly had been run over by the car two cars ahead of us - some guts were protruding though the snake was still mobile and was managing get off the road. Survival was extremely unlikely. May have some C. o. oreganus influence.
