Early spring in No. Cal-kings &rattlers in Feb
It's been so warm up in Northern CA I did a little rock flipping yesterday Feb 8 in Napa County. To my surprise I found a juvenile Cal King, ringneck, and a 3' rattlesnake, and 3 lizard species. Didn't have a thermometer but it was t-shirt weather in the sun. I went up to some higher elevations to look for zonata, but the sun went down, the wind kicked up and it got pretty chilly in a hurry.
Also, notice the blue scales on the rattlesnake? I didn't notice them at the time. It shows better in some of the other pics.
