How can snakes with such eye-popping colors be so maddeningly difficult to find? Despite their hues, Lampropeltis pyromelana snakes, lovingly known as pyros, are masters of secrecy. Embark on an exhilarating, swashbuckling journey with herpetologist Dallin Kohler-a young herpetologist and the newest voice in a long line of caring and curious lovers of ecology, conservation, and reptiles-in his attempt to track down these flamboyantly colored ceratures. From picturesque sandstone canyons to an unexpected stop at a local casino, Kohler encounters a delightful array of creatures on his search including spunky lizards, a psychedelic toad, and grumpy rattlesnakes.
