Notes

Lifer

This was a very gravid female that Terry nearly ran over while driving, again, at about 50 mph. We used Terry's car as a blind for photos. This beauty was in full breeding colors. When it finally ran off into the desert, it held its tail up and its entire underside of tail and its vent area was bright reddish orange. Quite a sight to see!
