Notes:
Found by Ellen E.Thompson she recalled: "It was just after 3pm. Stormy out, but hadn't rained since before 8am (rained@7pm). not many houses, very open area. he was on bricks surrounding a small garden area my daughter n I just turned an hour earlier!. I have encountered 3 other species of snakes, probably ten a year (I release harmless snakes just outside of Fence, so some are re-releases--I recognize some markings n scars). two years ago the first Mohave showed up IN my dwelling, but in back room(unfortunately I had to kill it, after it biting profusely, including itself). I have lots of rodents as I have an acre garden... I'm aware snakes come with the territory... Could there be a den near by? Lol I know the gophers are breeding near, as I find babies often."
