My kinda boas....
They do kinda look like poop snakes but I think they're cool. Cool sunny days equals good Charina weather. In a couple hours we found 4 Boas, 2/3 Garters, 5 or 6 Scelops and a MONSTER of a Southern Alligator lizard. Raining off and on and only high 50's.
Got out of the car and one of the first rocks produced this little girl, I always love it when you find what your looking for right away. Everything after that is just bonus!

Right afterwards my friend flips another, 2 within 10 minutes! We left that area and went on to the next, up a pretty steep logging road we stop at a fallen 4x8 sign and find thee biggest Southern Alligator lizard I have ever seen. I was a little surprised to find a Southern here, Northerns are more common.
Its funny how much attitude these guys throw.

Size reference

The last snakes of the day were flipped together, two fatty female boas. These guys always throw their tails over their heads, no wonder they're so beat.

size reference

Going home...

Re: My kinda boas....
That's killer! Rubber boas are awesome. I'd love to have one or two, unfortunately, since they are native to Utah, it is illegal for me to own one.  I'll have to settle on excellent photos and finding them in the wild to check out. Great shots!

As far as I know if it's native, it's illegal to have it as a pet. I'd have to dig a little more, I'm not so sure on corns, milks, or garters...I'm a boa guy and when I went digging I found that law.  It's a major bummer.
