Notes

Found sunning on logging road on overcast day - some sprinkles had hit earlier. Snake was extremely emaciated and had many bumps on skin (parasites?), but appeared to move fine. This is the first rubber boa my father had seen in this area despite many hundreds of miles of hiking at all times of year.
