Re: Kingsnake elevation limit?

He mentions that he read they're supposed to be found under 6,000 feet in his field guide so he probably just thought it was a unique find and didn't think much else of it. I doubt he'...

My understanding is he submitted them both as a note, to Herp Review, as new elevation records for Cal King. :thumb:...
