Notes
Nicholas found these two rubers coiled up together and hardly visible under a rock and behind some grass.
In the picture I am pushing the grass down so he could get a better shot. We then pulled the smaller one out (the larger one unfortunately escaped under the rock) and took more pictures before putting it back.
These were our first rubers :-)
Jim Bass and another experienced herper found another 7 rubers on the same day and in the same area.
