GBIFID: 1088922982; Occurrence Remarks: San Diego Night Snake (Hypsiglena ochrorhyncha klauberi) This small 14 adult native snake was encountered during herpetofauna surveys conducted one week each month on Point Loma by NPS staff and volunteers from Cabrillo National Monument. Largely nocturnal or crepuscular, this individual was discovered under an intentionally placed plywood cover board adjacent to one of the pit trap arrays. Although mildly venomous, Night Snakes are not considered a threat to humans. They are a rear-fanged species with a toxic saliva that helps sudue their prey. Typical foods include lizards, frogs, tadpoles, salamanders, insects and reptile eggs. This site is located on U.S. Navy property and not accessible to the public.

GBIFID: 1024227984; Occurrence Remarks: At 8:41 a.m., I lifted a mid-sized rock in a grassy meadow about 0.2 by 0.4 m and found my first snake (ever). Hypsiglena torquata under rock. It had vertical pupils and brown blotches around neck. The patterning on the back matched down the lateral line at times but mismatched at times also. When I picked it up, it was coiled underneath the rock, but in my hand, splayed out at first. As a moments passed, it became increasingly more coiled. In the few minutes that I head it, it didnΓÇÖt move all that much, most likely due to the cold temperature, but began to move more as it warmed up in my hand.
