Notes
I was roadcruising when a small frog took off jumping across the road. Since there are still a bunch of frogs I need as lifers here, I got out to try and find it, which I failed, but in the midst of flashlighting the road and walking to find the frog, I spotted this guy in my beam approximately 20 feet ahead of me...
ID'd by: smooth scales, two internasal scales and two postocular scales.
