Southern California. Joshua Tree/Palm Springs Area.
The goal for this trip was to find desert rosy boas (Lichanura trivirgata gracia) which was a good thing because that was nearly all that we found. 2 days of strenuous rock climbing produces 2 boas, 2 great basin gophersnakes (Pituophis catenifer deserticola) and a baby coachwhip (Masticophis flagellum)
Boa Habitat
Interesting geological formations in the rock
