Description

Second night in a row that we spotted this guy in the same location on the trail. Really hard to get even a halfway decent picture with my cell phone. Hopefully the giant eyes are enough to get an ID! Seen tonight at around 8 pm by the light of the silvery (full) moon (and my headlamp!)

My pictures are terrible since my cell phone couldn’t seem to handle my headlamp illuminating this skin. With the naked eye you could clearly see this skin was from a California King Snake. It was almost intact
