Observation Date / Time

Pictures are from all directions. Very small habitat parcel, that was
plowed within 48hours of this DOR. Why do they plow needlessly, when
they can just mow the property, if fire control is an issue? This kind
of needless mismanagement of habitats needs to stop.

It's amazing to see such an old snake
living in such a small habitat section.

57 inch Snout to tail Length (large portion of tail is missing do to injury).
54 inch Snout to Vent Length.

Depositing snake into LA County Natural History Museum for future DNA Studies as this habitat has been isolated for many years. After deposit I will enter record number and tie it to this record. LACNHM#183241
