Notes:
Snake was found by landscaping workers on a huge property in Coto de Caza. I was driving by and saw them taking cell phone pics of something on the ground and knew it must be a snake. They thought it looked like "a baby rattlesnake." I picked the gopher snake up and taught the very curious workers about snakes for a few minutes. By the end of the conversation, and with the help of a very cooperative gopher snake, I had them convinced to keep gopher snakes around and one of the workers held the snake, took a "selfie" with it, and relocated it to an area higher up on the property where it would be less likely to get into the road :)
Mission accomplished.
