Notes

Snake was emerging before the sun was over the hill. This snake wasn't under this tin when I checked it at 755 AM. (The other female from 755 am was under it) It was 53 degrees and shaded still from the sun. This makes a total of 3 rubber boas emerging before sun break and at 51 to 53 degrees. This female was 3 inches longer and ovulating unlike the smaller female seen earlier.

Super interesting, why would she be emerging at literally the coldest part of the day? With no sun on the tin yet... maybe she wanted to see what all the commotion was when you flipped the first female ha
