Notes:
This kingsnake appeared to be about 36" long. It was found during an educational herp hike with students from High Tech High and staff of the San Dieguito River Park. I spotted it emerging from erosion control rip rap along the dry lake shore. I took one quick photo, and pointed it out to all the kids, before trying to get closer for a better pic. The snake noticed my approach and retreated quickly into the rocks.
