Description

Was found at a rest stop near colfax California at approx 10:30 am in a very vegetated area underneath a small log over dead plant debris. The pictures actually show 2 different sharp-tailed snakes they were both next to each other under the log. One was active and tried escaping deeper into the debris while the other just laid on top. The timid one was about 3 inches longer than the active one small one was about 8 In and larger one was about 11. Both of them had two vertical red bands along their body.
