Not a great pic, but this was a spectacular, and very early, baby snake, about the circumference of a bic pen, and moving pretty quickly. Not from Downtown LA, but definitely in the local coastal mountains here.

Description

Definitely a dream come true and the best moment of my herping career so far. I wasn’t the lucky one to find either of these amazing snakes but I was lucky enough to be there for it
