Summary

[edit]
Description

October 22nd, 2022 11:00AM

High of 80 degrees Fahrenheit

Low of 68 degrees Fahrenheit

73 degrees Fahrenheit at capture

After a brief cold snap which introduced the first frost to most areas, the group I was with hiked up an exposed south facing rocky outcrop along a mountainside. After several hours of hiking, this snake was all we were able to find. This was likely due to high winds and lack of precipitation. After finding a large shed, this snake was observed loosely coiled in vegetation amidst several rocky ledges. We surrounded the snake and I was able to capture it, sustaining a few bites. He was a very healthy animal which surpassed 6 feet in length.
