Observation came from a post on the Nextdoor app. The observer released the specimen back into their yard after learning it was harmless. Thankfully they said they’d inform me if they happen across another.

Found 9 other individuals along side this one under a log. This was the best looking specimen in my opinion.

AOR. First atrox I’ve seen after 4 years of herping this neighborhood. I was running late to a concert when I cruised this dude. Still, I took the time to relocate the specimen to a nearby greenbelt.
