Notes
First photo in situ. Originally was curled below position in photo, crawled up into crevice as I started to photograph.
When captured, specimen bit me but it was a half hearted bite with very quick release.
Sex initially determined by head geometry and display of hemipenes.
Appears to be Oregon subspecies.
