| A California mountain kingsnake in hand. |
I found a California mountain kingsnake while checking the main springbox at the ranch. As the rainy season ends, we've unclogged pipes, replaced filters and sealed a leaking water tank. The spring slows down to a trickle in the summer, so its unnerving to start the dry season without a full water tank. When we found a valve mistakenly closed in our water system, I started systematically checking all the essential parts.
