Notes

Snake was eating a side-blotched lizard in a shady spot beneath a tall rock at the time of the encounter. I waited for it to digest, then caught it for photo vouchers. Did not realize any of this was a big deal at the time. Of course, my camera was dead. I believe this is a new locality record
