A three or four foot long gopher snake, mostly stretched out, along a barren sun-scorched path. It is mostly dark brown with even darker brown patches, though its pattern is hard to see here. The sun is glinting off its back along its farthest curves.
At the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge yesterday, a beautiful and lonnnnng gopher snake was sunning on the trail #GopherSnake #Snake #SacramentoWildlifeRefuge #Fujifilm
You won’t believe how much life is hiding along the trail.
I took a closer look & found a baby gopher snake refusing to move, future butterflies (pipevine swallowtails!) snacking away & a school of baby fish navigating the currents.

I have just finished my #shamaniccourse #rootsofashamanicpractice and I’m looking forward to whatever comes next. On my #medicinewalk today, I encountered this beautiful #gophersnake and felt a title for the new course: #powerpartners
What do you think?

Snek fren in the garden today. I think it's the one we rescued from the cats in the bathroom last week? Looks like it's getting fat on mice! #gophersnake #naturalpestcontrol #pestcontrol #homesteading #snakes #gardensky #gardening #organicgardening

Cool water during a scorching summer brought some relief to this beautiful gopher snake a couple of summers ago. I had turned on the hose to add water to the horse's trough and the grommet needed replacing. #photography #snake #reptile #gophersnake

A cyclist is stopped on the side of the road and is holding a medium sized gophersnake rescued from the roadway. The cyclist is happy. The gophersnake, less so.
Just know that loving gophersnakes is not just what happens on the clock, I also freelance Stan them during bike rides. Brake for snakes. #herps #snek #gophersnake #pituophis #rideyourbike #savethesnakes
A young, dull-colored gophersnake is going into shed. He was found after flipping an old door in a junk-strewn dumping area.
We stan gophersnakes. This is a #SundaySnakes feature for those who are perpetually late. Pituophis catenifer. #herps #snakes #sundaysnake #gophersnake #snek
A juvenile gophersnake being held up in the glow from a headlamp. It is very late at night, but the fan club is assembled.
Night and Day, you are the one…. The beauty of looking for gophersnakes is that, in the summer, a warm night of road driving can get you an invite to the fan club. Cali Gophersnake (P. catenifer). #SundaySnakes #herps #snakes #gophersnake #grumpynoodle #herpetology
Juvenile gophersnake is held loosely in one hand while it appears to glare at the camera. A tan snake, with dark brown barring on its back and belly spots.
Nothing but gophersnakes today, fam. And really, what could be better for #SundaySnakes? Not like anything else interesting is happening today. Can you believe these littles can grow to be 7ft long? #herps #snek #snakes #yearofthesnake #gophersnake
A yellow and tan snake assumes the squiggle position to better blend with its dry, rocky environment.
It’s #SundaySnakes and we are celebrating the most overlooked and under appreciated of them all, the Pacific Gophersnake (Pituophis catenifer). Masters of many environs, Oscar-worthy actors, and scrappy survivors. GOAT. #herps #snakes #yearofthesnake #snek #gophersnake #noodle

At least it’s a great opportunity to show ✨rectilinear locomotion✨ (inchworm like movement)
As well as his mental groove✨ (the groove along the chin that allows the lower jaw to expand)
*no snakes were harmed. But they WERE mocked a bit.

No new bike photos at the moment. Have this baby gopher snake I found at the ranch a while ago. Sweet little kid, no attempts to chomp me. #gophersnake #californiareptiles #reptile #nativespecies
