Notes
Verdugo Mountains! 400 hours of search effort over 10 yrs. Marine layer brewing over the hilltop. Shadiest spot in the mountain range almost. The snake had zero crossovers! Beautiful snake.
Comments
Such a gorgeous snake, Nicholas! Congrats on the hard work paying off, I'm in the process of putting in the work to find a Z about 20 miles NW of the Verdugos, around SCV. I know they're out here!
Beautiful snake, and incredible find!
I guess you earned that one Nicholas.
