October 14, 2010 Susanna Dadd In the Garden Snake October 14, 2010 Susanna Dadd In the Garden California Whip snake We found this nice fellow in the garden on October 13. It's a California whipsnake, Masticophis lateralis lateralis. This is probably a very happy snake as we have so many lizards for it to eat. Luckily they are very shy of us and speedy too. Susanna Dadd
