Notes
Park Species Detail: Per Hammerson, 2005: I documented this snake in 2004, which may be the first documented observation of this species for this park unit, though there are multiple prior records from nearby East Portal (which in a general sense encompasses both BLCA and CURE). A sight records was previously available for CURE (John Chapman, summer 1991).
