Additional Information
Notes
In Stebbins 2003 the Northern Rubber Boa is simply referred to as Rubber Boa. The species has since been split. The boas in Shasta County are part of the population that retain the original latin name (Charina bottae) but are now referred to as the Northern Rubber Boa.
The newly split species is the Southern Rubber Boa (Charina umbratica).
