Notes
I'm pretty sure this is the only Slender in the area? Fell free to correct ID, I know the cell pics aren't great.
This was in my Mother in laws flower garden. Her house sits on the upslope of Hwy.1 in Laguna Beach. I'm assuming these could probably be found right down to the Beach?
I've seen Striped Racers, West. Fence Liz and Alligator Lizards here. Neighbors have told me they've seen C.ruber as well as C. helleri here. The mailman told me he had seen the Kingsnake with red bands in this neighborhood before as well.
