Actually did find a male baby Mojave sidewinder and a yearling sw speckled rattler on the same trip on the same road different nights though. Also found a large adult gravid female DOR on the same road about 100 yards from the yearling. She had a mess of under developed babies on the road dead with her. That was very heartbreaking to see.
