Notes:
I thought I had accidentally hit this snake with my car, but I didn't see any injuries and it made a threat display when I came back to check on it. Also, I've never seen one colored quite like this one - could is possibly be a hybrid with N. clarkii compressicauda? I've found clarkii DORs about .5 miles from this spot.
