Los Gatos
This yellow and brown Pacific Gopher Snake was the first of three we found on a Sunday afternoon.

Flipping a piece of corrugated tin revealed a second Gopher Snake and an Arboreal Salamander.

Arboreal Salamander - this large amphibian sometimes climbs trees.

Our second gopher snake.

We found several Western Toads when searching for snakes.

This Northern Pacific Rattlesnake wasn't very friendly.

Two Pacific Treefrogs were also seen on this excursion.

The third Gopher Snake of the day was also the largest.
