Notes
Park Species Detail: Certification note: McCoy listed this species as common in the 1960's. Hammerson (2005): McCoy (1966) stated that there were no records from the North Rim, but the University of Colorado (UCM) in Boulder has specimens from both rims, and I found this snake on both rims in 2004., Park Species Data Source: Fallon 1997, Bibkey #168138
