Park Species Detail: Per Hammerson (2005): McCoy (1966) stated that this snake has been found in BLCA in side canyons and on the south rim. He characterized it as an uncommon lowland species that barely enters BLCA. I know of no other evidence for the occurrence of this snake in BLCA. Despite intensive investigation, I found no museum records or other tangible documentation that substantiates McCoy's report. McCoy was associated with museums and often collected specimens, but apparently he never obtained any speciemens from BLCA. Fallon (1997) did not find any striped whipsnakes during her surveys. I documented a single specimen in 2004, approximately 0.5 km west of the BLCA western boundary, so it is likely this snake does occur within BLCA., Park Species Data Source: Graham 2000, Bibkey #141329
