This is the first Sonoran Whipsnake, Coluber bilineatus, I’ve managed to photograph as-seen without being laid across a roadway or other artificial basking surface. I was hiking through a canyon in the Superstition mountains with Mark Leppin and saw him coming out of a tangle of brush. He sat perfectly still and we got a few pictures.
