January
Rodney Lacey sent in a picture of a pink Common Sharp-tailed Snake next to a normally colored snake, that he found together in Butte County.
First snake of the year for me was this little juvenile Western Yellow-bellied Racer found under a rock in Contra Costa County. Plenty of Ensatina, CA slenders were seen, but the newt ponds are so low that few newts are breeding yet. Do your rain dance.
Nor Cal has had very little rain so the California Tiger Salamanders aren't having a good winter, but Edgar Ortega did see a juvie in January and sent some pics.
New pictures of some San Francisco Gartersnakes, two with very pale stripes, a color form that I had not shown here before, from noted author Briain Hulbbx, who insisted that I spell his name right.
