Notes:
This ensatina was very large and fat - obviously gravid. It was extremely sensitive and took a defensive posture before I even touched it. It emitted white secretions from its tail as soon as I picked it up to move it off the pavement.

Remnants of a tropical storm passed through So. Cal. on this night, bringing high humidity and some rain showers.
