Notes
This sanke was coiled at the edge of its hole, as my friend approached it uncoiled and started back down the hole, all I got was this shot as we did not try to get it out-(checked back 4 days later and was not basking). It had rained good in this area days previous but air temp was only 66-68, but rocks were warm to the touch. Habitat shot included.
