Herpetofauna: One Life's List

Coluber aurigularis
Baja Striped Whipsnake

Baja Sur, Mexico

This snake was found in the foothills of the Sierra Laguna Mts., to the northeast of Cabo San Lucas.  Matt Cage spotted the serpent's head, barely sticking out thick vegetation, and made a mighty grab before the snake could bolt.
