    Guess the herp!

    Well, I went herping last weekend with the kids at a semi-abandoned military base near Monterey (Ft. Ord). They have a lot of land designated as public space, but I didn't realize until later that the public was only supposed to bike/hike on the roads and not drive your car around. I guess that was what those barriers were that I drove around.

    Anyway, the herping was kind of a bust. At one point I thought I struck herp gold because I came across this field with a ton of corrugated tin roofing material all over the place, but we didn't find ONE reptile. The only one we did manage to find was this critter on the road as we were driving through. Being that I only found one, I thought I would make a guessing game out of this.

    Can anyone guess the herp with the first picture?

    Pacific Gopher. Seems to be the most common snake around here. This guy was about 3.5 feet, and pretty friendly. I got him off the road and sent him on his way.
