Notes
Park Species Detail: Per Hammerson, 2005: The only occurrence that I know about is based on a snake "picked up a few years ago along the East Portal Road" (Myron Chase, Resource Management Specialist, pers. comm., 2004). It had been hit by a car and was brought in by a park visitor. The specimen no longer exists (M. Chase, pers. comm., 2005), but specimens of this species from western Colorado are unlikely to be misidentified. This record suggests that milksnakes may occur in both parks. These secretive snakes are difficult to detect, except on roads, so additional information on the status of this snake in the region will be very difficult to obtain. Finding this snake is largely a matter of persistence (frequently being in the habitat) and good luck.
