Range:
Eastern and southwestern Oregon, California, southwestern Nevada, southern Utah and western Arizona and into Baja, Mexico.
Habitat:
Highly adaptable; woodlands, coniferous forests, grassland, cultivated fields, tropical scrub, and desert. Often found near streams.
Characteristics:
Scientific name means "shiny skin." Scales are smooth. Dorsal pattern is highly variable but frequently consists of dark and light rings.
Behavior:
Constrictor but often vibrates tail as "bluff." Hides under logs or stones. If caught, can be vicious, biting and chewing hard, but after adjusting to captivity, usually becomes quite good-tempered. Because of their snake-eating habits, they are often caged separately in captivity. Sometimes rolls into a ball with its head at the center and everts lining of cloaca as "bluff." Chiefly terrestrial but some species climb into trees after birds. Usually crepescular, but desert species often nocturnal.
Reproduction:
Mate from mid-March to early July. Oviparous, laying 6 to 12 eggs in a clutch; incubation period 66 to 83 days. The striped and banded phases often occur within offspring of same clutch of eggs.
Interesting Facts:
Controlling rodents and venomous snakes. In the presence of a king snake a rattler will neither strike nor rattle, but will lay with head low and raise center part of its body in a loop, with which it will strike heavy blows to the king snake.

Sideview for the ramp used to load vehicles onto double-decker railcars, for The Ghan, a passenger train operating between Adelaide, Alice Springs and Darwin, in Australia. I love that the lid to the battery compartment is held up using rope.
Found at the Keswick Rail Terminal, a few platforms across from the main one.

This is the sideview mirror of my friend's Renault Albine Turbo. I believe it is the only one in Ethiopia.
Oh dear, oh dear, I got arrested for hurting Wrinkly. I had to tell every little detail about yesterday. I also had to get my pawprints taken and now (as you can see) they’re taking mug shots. All I want to do is get home and see if Wrinkly is ok.
