A Sad Find

This thursday, my brother and I went climbing in Mt. Diablo State Park. As we drove up a skinny road to the climbs, my brother noticed a snake on the road. We pulled over and ran to see what it was. Unfortunately the snake was dead but very intact and it was a beautiful Gopher Snake (A.K.A. Bull Snake). Lately it seems like for every live snake I find, there are two dead ones, but I guess that is part of herping on roads.
