This photo to the right is a small group of us field herpers that met up in Perris California in search of  Rosy boas. Only about half of the group is shown here. This was one of the group outings, put together by Snake Master Myke, that lead to the beginning of the NAFHA data base. It was actually the very next outing after this when the idea was brought up by Jeff Lemm to create the data base. From left to right in this photo is Mike D., Eric Yee, me (Ross Padilla) in the black shirt, Donald Schultz posing a Rosy boa, Philip Clevinger, William Flaxington (aka Fieldnotes), Myke Clarkson (aka Snake Master Myke). The Rosy boa was found this day by Mike D. 

Several ruber  were found this day along with a Lyre snake. The photo to the left is Donald Schultz with the ruber  I found. In the photo to the right is Eric Yee, Mike Kolb, Jeff Mints, and Myke Clarkson. As you can see, Jeff is securing a ruber  they found in a crevice.

I highly recommend getting a copy of Brian Hubbs book on Common kingsnakes. The information on kingsnakes in this book surpasses any other publication ever written. Brian Hubbs has helped me out immensely over the years. Without him, I doubt I would have found the various Cal king morphs I have since 2006. I also probably never would have put this site together. With Hubbs, I've experienced first hand how special it is to give to someone. He gave me a lot of information before the book was even published, which is something I could never thank him enough for. Now I'd like to give back and I hope this website serves that purpose. I don't know if I could ever inspire someone like Hubbs inspired me, but if you guys could take a little something from this site and appreciate Cal kings a little more, it will have served its purpose. I'd also like to acknowledge I was helped out early on by Brian Hinds (Fundad) and Paul Lynum. I could never thank them enough for being there when I craved this information the most.
