Notes
Found under a piece of termite infested plywodd on a thick bed of rotting iceplant (Carpobrotus edulis)along with two Arboreal Salamanders (Aneides lugubris), one of which was photo-vouchered (HERP record #70268) While this individual is well within the range of the coastal subspecies, S. o. bocourtii, I am unable to distinguish the different subspecies, so I am choosing the more prudent course and leaving this at a species-level identification.
