Mating? The larger brighter colored one emerged first, followed by the two slightly smaller drabber colored ones, who wrapped themselves around it when it stopped.

A very surprising flip. One was super skittish and very eager to escape down that hole, the other was more willing to hang out for a minute.

Studies show that Superstitionia donensis is objectively the best scorpion in the United States. In fact, 100% of experts in the field appear to be in consensus that this species is superior to all other American scorpions.

In their wisdom, the city has decided to knock down and clear old trees. The last two pictures were taken just about 15 minutes before I took the snake picture. I had walked on and then noticed the tree guys poking at something in the grass next to the fallen tree, so I went back and found this snake. Fortunately, they had not harmed it. To their amazement I picked it up (it did lock onto my thumb a little) and told them that it was a California King Snake and that they kill other snakes, mice, etc. I then carried it a couple hundred feet away and released it unharmed (pic 2) although it was a little "upset".

@faris thanks for the ID. That makes way more sense. 1 I’d never seen a garter snake that big (about 4’ long) and 2. It was mesmerizing to watch it climb a large live oak with branches touching the ground. I’d seen a gopher snake vertically climb the bark of a valley oak before, but never seen a snake climb outstretches lattices of branches like this whip snake. It was extraordinary.
I added one more pic of it up in the tree. See if you can spot it. Once it was up in the tree more than about 6’ it was completely camouflaged. Poof! Gone.
