Chionactis occipitalis occipitalis
Mohave Shovel-Nosed Snake
Inyo Co., California
May 21, 2015
It was the last hour of the last day of our Mohave trip,
and our two cars had split up to cruise two perpendicular roads. We
got a text from Andy - "got one!" 'One' being the last remaining
Shovel-Nose. Despite a week of terrible weather, we had found all
three subspecies of Chionactis occipitalis.
