Abstract 

As part of the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring Program in the Mojave Network, 

we conducted an inventory of amphibians and reptiles at Mojave National Preserve in 2004-

2005. Objectives for this inventory were to use fieldwork, museum collections, and literature 

review to document the occurrence of reptile and amphibian species occurring at MOJA. Our 

goals were to document at least 90% of the species present, provide one voucher specimen for 

each species identified, provide GIS-referenced distribution information for sensitive species, 

and provide all deliverables, including NPSpecies entries, as outlined in the Mojave Network 

Biological Inventory Study Plan. Methods included daytime and nighttime visual encounter 

surveys and nighttime road driving. Survey effort was concentrated in predetermined priority 

sampling areas, as well as in areas with a high potential for detecting undocumented species. We 

recorded 31 species during our surveys. During literature review and museum specimen database 

searches, we found records for seven additional species from MOJA, elevating the documented 

species list to 38 (two amphibians and 36 reptiles). Based on our surveys, as well as literature 

and museum specimen review, we estimate an overall inventory completeness of 95% for 

Mojave National Preserve herpetofauna; 67% for amphibians and 97% for reptiles.

Introduction 

In fiscal year 2000, the National Park Service (NPS) received a substantial budget increase for 

inventory and monitoring studies. At that time, a nationwide program to inventory vertebrates 

and vascular plants within the National Parks was initiated. As part of this new inventory effort 

led by the NPS Inventory and Monitoring program, a total of 265 National Park units (e.g., 

parks, monuments, recreation areas, historic sites) were identified as having significant natural 

resources, and these were divided into 32 groups or “networks” based on geographical proximity 

and similar habitat types. The Mojave Network (MOJN) consists of seven NPS units in the 

Mojave and Great Basin biomes: Death Valley National Park (DEVA), Great Basin National 

Park (GRBA), Joshua Tree National Park (JOTR), Lake Mead National Recreation Area 

(LAME), Manzanar National Historic Site (MANZ), Parashant National Monument (PARA), 

and Mojave National Preserve (MOJA). A biological inventory study plan was developed for the 

Mojave Network (NPS 2001), and MOJA identified inventory of reptiles as a high priority. A 

preliminary NPS assessment of inventory completeness indicated that approximately 87% of the 

potentially occurring reptile species had been verified. Although only a few amphibian species 

(only one native) have been recorded from MOJA, we included them in our surveys and data 

mining efforts, in order to produce a comprehensive assessment of both amphibians and reptiles 

in the Preserve. 

Park managers identified priority sampling areas for both amphibians and reptiles, focusing on 

areas that lacked adequate baseline information on species occurrence, had a high potential for 

increasing the park species list, or were of special management concern. These areas included the 

Clark Mountain Range, the Piute Range, and two perennial streams within MOJA. One of these, 

Piute Creek, drains the eastern side of the Piute Range. The other, Cornfield Spring, occurs on 

the western flank of the Providence Mountains. 

Objectives for this inventory were to: 1) inventory and document the occurrence of reptile and 

amphibian species occurring at MOJA, including within priority sampling locations, with the 

1 
goal of documenting at least 90% of the species potentially present; 2) document (through 

collection or museum specimen and literature review) one voucher specimen for each species 

identified; 3) provide a GIS-referenced list of sensitive species that are known to be federally or 

state listed, rare, or worthy of special consideration that occur within the Preserve; 4) describe 

park-wide distribution of federally- or state-listed, rare, or special concern species; 5) draw 

conclusions based upon data obtained for consideration in future inventory or monitoring; 6) 

enter all species data into the National Park Service NPSpecies database; and 7) provide all 

deliverables as outlined in the Mojave Network Biological Inventory Study Plan.

Study Area Description 

Mojave National Preserve was established in 1994 as part of the California Desert Protection 

Act, when land formerly managed by the Bureau of Land Management as the East Mojave 

National Scenic Area was transferred to the NPS. MOJA encompasses 643,387 ha (1,589,165 

acres) in eastern San Bernardino County, California (NPS 2000). Elevations range from 284 m 

(932 ft) at Soda Lake to 2417 m (7929 ft) on the summit of Clark Mountain (Stoffer 2004). The 

Preserve is more or less bisected by an interconnected series of southwest-northeast trending 

mountain ranges (Granite, Providence, Mid Hills, and New York Mountains). Much of the 

higher elevations (above 1,675 m or 5,500 ft) of these mountains, as well as of the Clark 

Mountain Range, consist of pinyon-juniper woodland (Stoffer 2004, Thomas et al. 2004). 

Adjacent to these and other, smaller ranges are broad, flat valleys dominated by creosote bush 

(Larrea tridentada), with extensive bajadas of mixed cactus-yucca scrub or Joshua tree (Yucca 

bevifolia) woodland (Thomas et al. 2004). The Cima Dome region in the northern part of the 

Preserve contains one of the densest and most extensive Joshua tree forest in the world (NPS 

2000). Other prominent features in the Preserve include Soda Dry Lake, cinder cones and lava 

fields, and the extensive dune fields of Kelso Dunes and Devil’s Playground. MOJA contains a 

number of springs, two of which (Piute Spring and Cornfield Spring) give rise to perennial 

streams. Many canyons and washes have flowing water in spring following winters of adequate 

rainfall, and some of these (e.g., Bull Canyon in the Granite Mountains) retain standing water in 

tinajas year-round. Mean annual precipitation varies from as much as 25 cm (10 in) in the 

mountains to less than 5 cm (2 in) in the lowest elevations (Stoffer 2004). 

Methods 

Sampling Design 

The focus of the present MOJA amphibian and reptile inventory was very specific: to survey 

throughout the Preserve, especially in relatively unknown or sensitive areas, and to document the 

presence of suspected species. Given this, and based on results from previous herpetological 

inventories (e.g., Drost et al. 2001, Persons and Nowak 2006a), we used non-random, targeted 

sampling methods rather than randomized plots or transects. It is well known that unconstrained, 

targeted surveys are superior to randomized methods when trying to compile a herpetofauna 

species list (e.g., Campbell and Christman 1982, Karns 1986, Scott 1994, Turner et al. 1999). 

Much of our effort was focused in the previously identified priority sampling areas (above), but 

we also surveyed throughout the Preserve in an effort to describe the park-wide distribution of 

the herpetofauna. 

2 
Field Methods 

For this inventory, we used a combination of diurnal and nocturnal time-recorded visual 

encounter surveys (“general surveys”) and nighttime road driving. These methods are outlined 

below. 

 Daytime General Surveys. General surveys are a form of time-recorded visual 

encounter survey described by Crump and Scott (1994). During daytime general surveys we 

recorded the area searched (either with GPS points or written route descriptions, or both), start 

and stop times, weather conditions (temperature, cloud cover, wind, relative humidity) at the 

beginning and end of each survey, and observations of all amphibians or reptiles encountered 

during the survey. These surveys varied from short duration searches of specific habitats (e.g., 

springs, abandoned structures) to all-day hikes over extensive areas (e.g., long canyons). 

 Nocturnal General Surveys. Nocturnal general surveys were conducted in the same 

manner as daytime general surveys, except that they occurred at night with the aid of flashlights. 

These surveys included an aural component (i.e. listening at potential breeding locations for 

calling amphibians), as well as visual searches of pools and streams for tadpoles and egg masses. 

 Nighttime Road Driving. Driving slowly on roads at night and carefully scanning the 

road in the headlights of the vehicle is recognized as an excellent method for surveying some 

groups of reptiles, particularly snakes (e.g., Klauber 1939, Mendelson and Jennings 1992, Rosen 

and Lowe 1994). We standardized these surveys by driving a vehicle at slow speeds (20-30 km 

per hour) on both paved and good dirt roads within MOJA, identifying all amphibians and 

reptiles encountered to species and recording if they were either alive on the road (AOR) or dead 

on the road (DOR). We sexed and aged individuals when possible and recorded locations to the 

nearest 0.1 mi using calibrated vehicle odometers. Locations of selected observations were also 

recorded using a GPS unit. 

 Random Encounters. Amphibians and reptiles seen during other than formal surveys 

(e.g., during daytime when driving between survey areas) were referred to as random encounters. 

As with the amphibians and reptiles seen or captured by the different sampling methods 

described above, we recorded standard data on random encounters, including date, time, 

location, species, size or age class, and sex, as possible. 

Spatial Data Collection 

In addition to written descriptions, many survey area locations were recorded using Garmin® 

hand-heldGPS units (GPSIII Plus or Garmin 12), usually with an accuracy of 4-5 m. In addition, 

we recorded individual capture locations of some uncommon species. Although the Mojave I&M 

Network is trying to standardize all spatial data in the NAD83 datum, we used NAD27 in order 

to match the USGS topographic maps of MOJA. As with other field data, all spatial data were 

originally recorded in field notebooks before being entered into the Microsoft Access® database. 

Voucher Specimens 

We salvaged several road-killed animals found in good condition. Collection locations for most 

specimens were recorded using GPS. Specimens were injected with and immersed in 10% 

formalin for fixing, then transferred to 70% ethanol for preservation, using standard techniques 

(e.g., Simmons 2002). These specimens have been deposited in the herpetology collection at the 

Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Each specimen has a field series tag, a data 

tag, and an NPS issue specimen tag containing information on species, collector, date of 

collection, collection site, and NPS (ANCS+) accession and catalog number. 

3 
Literature and Museum Specimen Review 

The primary published literature pertaining to herpetofauna of the MOJA area is Johnson et al. 

(1948). In addition to that monograph, we reviewed species-specific distribution literature (e.g., 

Bickett 1982, Bradley and Deacon 1966, DeLisle 1979, 1983, Lovich and Beaman in press, 

Lovich and Meyer 2002, Tanner 1966, Wood and Richmond 2003) relating to amphibians and 

reptiles within or near the Preserve. We also reviewed theses and unpublished reports on 

amphibians and reptiles at MOJA (Driscoll 1987, Hazard and Rotenberry 1996, Mitchell 1978, 

Moon 1988, Stein and Warrick 1979, Tate 1981, Ulmer 1983, Wallace 2003), and consulted with 

experts familiar with aspects of the MOJA herpetofauna. These experts included Jim Andre, Rob 

Fulton, Jeff Lovich, J. Robert Macey, Brian McGurty, William Presch, and Glenn Stewart. 

Contact information for these experts is presented in Appendix B. 

For many years, Kent Beaman (Los Angeles County Natural History Museum) has been 

compiling a database of museum specimen records of amphibians and reptiles from all of 

Riverside and San Bernardino counties, California, and he graciously gave us access to that 

database for this project. It contains records from 21 institutional collections, as follows: 

American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), Barrick Museum at University of Nevada Las 

Vegas (UNLV), Brigham Young University (BYU), California Academy of Sciences (CAS), 

Carnegie Museum (CM), Field Museum of Natural History (FMNH), Florida Museum of Natural 

History (no acronym), University of Kansas (KU), Los Angeles County Natural History Museum 

(LACM), Louisiana State University (LSU), Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ), Museum 

of Southwestern Biology (MSB), Museum of Vertebrate Zoology (MVZ), Oklahoma Museum of 

Natural History (OKMNH), San Bernardino Natural History Museum (SBNHM), San Diego 

Natural History Museum (SDNHM), University of Arizona (UAZ), University of California 

Santa Barbara (UCSB), University of Colorado Museum (UCM), University of Michigan 

Museum of Zoology (UMMZ), and United States National Museum (USNM). Standard 

institutional codes follow Leviton et al. (1985). In addition, we reviewed online specimen 

records from Yale Peabody Museum (YPM). Finally, we examined the specimens maintained at 

the University of California’s Sweeney Granite Mountains Desert Research Center (UCR-GMR), 

and Jim Andre provided us with the accompanying spreadsheet of collection data. From these 

sources we compiled a spreadsheet of museum specimens collected within (or in a handful of 

cases, near) what is now MOJA. These specimen records are presented in Appendix C. 

Additional data associated with many records (collector field numbers, measurements, etc.) can 

be found in the spreadsheet, delivered separately to the Mojave I & M Network. These and other 

records from some of these institutions are also available through the online HerpNet data portal 

(http://herpnet.org).

Data Analysis 

The effectiveness of the different sampling methods was evaluated by determining overall 

species richness and capture rate per unit effort for each of the sampling methods. The number of 

species or individuals captured per unit effort was calculated by dividing the number captured or 

sighted by the total effort for that method. We measured sampling effort for general surveys and 

nocturnal general surveys in person-hours, i.e., the number of hours spent surveying multiplied 

by the number of observers for any given survey. For night driving we measured effort both in 

person-hours and in total kilometers driven. Random encounters are not quantifiable in terms of 

effort, but they added important information for the development of the species accounts on the 

distribution and abundance of species within the Preserve. 

4 
To estimate inventory completeness, we developed a master list of species documented and 

potentially occurring at MOJA. Development of this master list was based on consultation of the 

literature, review of the NPSpecies database, personal knowledge of the distribution and habitats 

of southwestern amphibians and reptiles, data from selected museum collections, personal 

communications with other herpetologists that have worked in the MOJA region, and results of 

fieldwork from the 2004-2005 seasons. Because MOJA contains relatively few undocumented 

species, we did not attempt to weight these in our calculation of inventory completeness, as in 

other recent NPS herpetofauna inventories (Persons and Nowak 2004, 2006a, 2006b, 2006c). 

Instead, we simply divided the total number of documented species by the total number of 

documented + undocumented species, yielding a figure of percent inventory completeness. 

In addition to the master list, we produced a species accumulation curve (e.g., Scott 1994) to 

evaluate inventory completeness. This curve is simply a graphical representation of the rate at 

which we added to the species list over the course of the entire inventory period. 

Data and Other Products 

Data products delivered separately to the Mojave Inventory and Monitoring Network include 1) 

a Microsoft Access® database containing all field data on individual surveys and species 

observations; 2) updates of the NPSpecies and NatureBib databases for MOJA; 3) copies of field 

notes; and 4) photographs (35 mm color slides) of some survey areas and captured animals. 

Metadata for this inventory is being developed with the assistance of the data manager for the 

Southern Colorado Plateau Inventory and Monitoring Network (SCPN). 

Report Review 

In addition to NPS review by Mojave I&M Network and MOJA staff, this report has undergone 

review in accordance with the USGS Fundamental Science Practices policy. This process 

consists of peer-review by topic experts, followed by policy approval at the Science Center and 

Regional levels. 

Results and Discussion 

Overview of Inventory Results 

We recorded 31 species (one amphibian and 30 reptiles) during fieldwork at MOJA in 2004-

2005, and we documented 7 additional species based on our review of the literature and museum 

specimen records. Discussion of distribution and relative abundance of each species is found in 

the species accounts (Appendix A). Scientific and common names follow Stebbins (2003). 

Scientific names for all amphibian and reptile species mentioned in this report are presented in 

Table 1.

We recorded 1,913 individual amphibians and reptiles (not including tadpoles and egg masses) at 

MOJA. Of these, 1,397 (73%) were lizards, 308 (16%) were amphibians (all Red-spotted Toads), 

193 (10%) were snakes, and 15 were turtles (Desert Tortoise; <1%). The most commonly 

observed species was the Side-blotched Lizard (n = 685), accounting for 36% of all observations. 

The most frequently observed snake species was the Sidewinder (n = 37), although a number of 

other species were also encountered frequently. A summary of the total number of each species 

observed by each method during this inventory is presented in Table 2. Complete data on all 

observations can be found in the accompanying Microsoft Access® database. 

Literature and Museum Specimen Review 

The most comprehensive account of the herpetofauna of MOJA is Johnson et al. (1948), who 

recorded 29 species of amphibians and reptiles from the “Providence Mountains Area,” which 

5 
included most of MOJA except the western and eastern edges (i.e., Soda Dry Lake, Piute Range). 

Species they failed to detect included Gila Monster, Western Blind Snake, Glossy Snake, 

Western Shovel-nosed Snake, Ring-necked Snake, Spotted Leaf-nosed Snake, Southwestern 

Black-headed Snake, Western Lyre Snake, and the introduced Pacific Treefrog (found only near 

Soda Lake). Although Johnson et al. (1948) do not detail their collecting methods many snakes 

were probably undetected because night driving was apparently not employed. Had it been, 

many species such as Glossy Snake, Western Shovel-nosed Snake, and Spotted Leaf-nosed 

Snake would undoubtedly have been found. 

Another comprehensive, but unpublished, report on the herpetofauna of the East Mojave region 

is that of Brown (1976). Despite an exhaustive search, we were unable to locate this reference. 

Mitchell (1978) recorded 27 species from the Clark Mountain area, and provided data on habitat 

associations of each species. Stein and Warrick (1979) reported results of extensive surveys in 

the Granite Mountains, where they observed or collected 29 species and included an additional 

five species in their list based on previous records. Compared with the 38 species we document, 

the only species Stein and Warrick (1979) did not record were Pacific Treefrog (introduced in 

the pond at Zzyzx), Gila Monster, Ring-necked Snake and Long-nosed Snake. Tate (1981) 

reported on herpetofauna surveys in and near the Kelso and Old Dad mountains, and recorded 28 

species from the area. Highlights of their surveys included a Rosy Boa near Kelso Peak and five 

Western Ground Snakes, a species that is known from very few specimens throughout MOJA. 

Ulmer (1983) reported results of a pitfall trapping survey of Piute Creek. Driscoll (1987) studied 

the herpetofauna of the upper elevation plateaus in the Granite Mountains. She did not record 

any new species, but did extend known local elevation limits for many. Hazard and Rotenberry 

(1996) reported on transect surveys at both perennial streams in MOJA, Piute Creek and 

Cornfield Spring. Wallace (2003) captured 16 reptile species in pitfall traps at the Desert Studies 

Center on the west side of Soda Dry Lake. An annotated species list for the Providence 

Mountains (Moon 1988) contains little original data. 

We also consulted literature on distribution of individual species at MOJA. Wood and Richmond 

(2003) report a new locality (Pachalka Spring) for Ring-necked Snake, and Greene and Luke 

(1996) discuss the possibility of numerous undocumented species occurring in the higher 

mountains within MOJA. Most of the species-specific distributional literature in the MOJA 

region concerns the Gila Monster (Bicket 1982, Bradley and Deacon 1966, DeLisle 1979, 1983). 

Lovich and Beaman (in press) review all records of Gila Monsters in California, many of which 

are from within MOJA. 

We compiled a spreadsheet of 1,723 museum specimen records of amphibians and reptiles 

collected from MOJA (Appendix C). The vast majority of these were taken from Kent Beaman’s 

database of San Bernardino County records. Without access to this database, we could not have 

compiled such an extensive and thorough museum specimen list within the time and budgetary 

constrains of the project. As a result, almost all species potentially occurring at MOJA are known 

to be documented with museum specimens; the remaining species are very hypothetical (they 

may not occur within the Preserve at all) and almost certainly voucher specimens do not exist 

anywhere. 

Sampling Effort and Efficacy of Methods 

We spent approximately 312 person-hours on 63 days surveying for herpetofauna at MOJA in 

2004-2005. Methods used, and number of person-hours spent on each method, included general 

surveys (192 person-hours), nocturnal general surveys (4 person-hours), and night driving (116 

person-hours). We drove approximately 3,847 km during night driving surveys. Finally, we 

6 
recorded species observations (one or more individuals per observation) during 123 separate 

random encounters. A summary of effort, including both actual survey time and total personhours for most methods, is presented in Table 3. 

Much of our survey effort was focused in priority sampling areas identified at the start of the 

inventory. We conducted general surveys in the Clark Mountains (23 surveys), the Piute Range 

(9 surveys), Piute Creek (12 surveys), and at Cornfield Spring (8 surveys). Some of our night 

driving surveys were also conducted in the Clark Mountains and Piute Creek areas. Many of our 

surveys, including within priority sampling areas, were focused on habitats potentially occupied 

by Gila Monsters. We also surveyed multiple sites within the Granite, Kelso, Mid Hills, New 

York, and Providence Mountains, and within Kelso Dunes. Because of the extensive network of 

paved and graded dirt roads within MOJA, most regions and habitats within the Preserve were 

surveyed multiple times during night drives. Complete data on all surveys can be found in the 

accompanying Microsoft Access® database.

The most species detected by a single method was 26, during general surveys, and we recorded 

16 species during night driving surveys (Table 2). Taken together, these two methods recorded 

30 of the 31 species documented during this inventory. This result is consistent with those of 

amphibian and reptile inventories at Petrified Forest National Park (Drost et al. 2001) and 

Wupatki National Monument, Arizona (Persons 2001, Persons and Nowak 2006a), in which the 

combination of daytime general surveys and night driving resulted in inventory completeness of 

>90% at both parks (unpublished data). Nocturnal general surveys at MOJA recorded only one 

species, the Red-spotted Toad. We recorded 24 species during random encounters, including one 

species (Common Kingsnake) not found by other methods. 

Observation rate (individual animals detected per person-hour) of all amphibians and reptiles 

was 7.68 for general surveys, 12.4 for nocturnal general surveys (only Red-spotted Toads), and 

1.27 for night driving. 

Road driving observation rates are usually reported as individuals observed per distance driven 

(e.g., Klauber 1939, Rosen and Lowe 1994). For all species, we recorded observation rates of 

3.82 individuals per 100 km driven during night driving. However, the primary focus of night 

driving surveys was to find snakes. Considering only snakes, night driving recorded 2.96 

individuals per 100 km. Although lower than Klauber’s (1939) figure of 7.7 snakes/100 km 

reported for the Anza-Borrego Desert region of southern California, these figures are comparable 

to other, more recent studies in the Southwest, such as Persons (2001; 1.76 snakes/100 km) and 

Rosen and Lowe (1994; 2.37 snakes/100 km). 

Road Mortality of Snakes 

Because MOJA contains extensive paved, high-speed roads that pass through the Preserve, road 

mortality of animals is a concern. Many of the roads within MOJA have been paved only in the 

past few decades, and snakes may be less common now compared with the 1970’s and 1980’s 

(Rob Fulton and William Presch, personal communication). Many studies have reported the ratio 

of snakes found dead on the road (DOR) to those found alive on the road (AOR). Of the 114 

snakes recorded during night driving surveys at MOJA, 44 (39%) were found DOR. Of 

comparable studies in the Southwest, Klauber (1939) recorded 24% DOR during nighttime 

surveys in the Borrego region of southern California, Price and LaPointe (1990) reported 44% 

DOR in southern New Mexico, Persons (2001) reported 47% DOR at Wupatki National 

Monument in northern Arizona, Sullivan (2000) reported 56% DOR in central California, and 

Rosen and Lowe (1994) reported 72% DOR at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in 

7 
southern Arizona. These data should be interpreted with caution as many factors influence 

DOR/AOR ratios, including scavenging rates (e.g., Kline and Swann 1998, Rosen and Lowe 

1994) and relative intensity of snake activity during survey times. Still, when comparing between 

similar habitats (with similar snake faunas) and using similar survey methods DOR/AOR ratios 

can be used as a rough index of the intensity of road mortality. 

Although our sample sizes are small, it is interesting to determine the localized mortality rates of 

snakes found during standardized night driving surveys on separate road sections within MOJA. 

As expected, percent DOR is higher on more heavily traveled roads. For example, percent DOR 

on Morningstar Mine Road, Kelso-Cima Road, and the portion of Kelbaker Road south of Kelso 

is a combined 66% (N=50). This route is commonly used as a cutover between Interstate 15 and 

points south of Interstate 40, and traffic is especially heavy on weekends (personal observation) 

as southern Californians head to and from Las Vegas. In contrast, the long section of Kelbaker 

Road between Baker and Kelso had a percent DOR of only 17% (N=29). An even starker 

contrast is shown by simply comparing the section of Kelbaker Road north of Kelso (17% DOR) 

to the section south of Kelso, which had a DOR rate of 73% (N=30). This figure is almost 

identical to the 72% DOR reported by Rosen and Lowe (1994) for Route 85 in Organ Pipe 

Cactus National Monument. Rosen and Lowe (1994), using a larger dataset than we have, 

estimated that roughly 1,000 snakes a year were killed on their 44 km transect, or about 23 

snakes per km per year. Rosen and Lowe (1994) suggested that the road in Organ Pipe may be 

acting as a population sink for some snakes, most notably the Rosy Boa, a relatively large, slowmoving species that is especially vulnerable when crossing roadways. Rosy Boas inhabiting the 

rocky foothill areas of the Granite and Providence Mountains could be impacted by road 

mortality where these habitats meet in the Granite Pass area, along the busy southern section of 

Kelbaker Road. If populations near Kelbaker Road were severely reduced or eliminated, as they 

appear to have been near Route 85 in Organ Pipe (Rosen and Lowe 1994), gene flow between 

populations in the Granite and Providence Mountains might be cut off. 

Estimate of Inventory Completeness 

Based on our surveys at MOJA in 2004-2005, and evaluation of potential occurrence of 

undocumented species, we estimate an overall inventory completeness of 95% (Table 4). 

Excluding the two introduced species (Bullfrog and Western Pond Turtle) which formerly 

resided in the pond at Zzyzx, we estimate that only one amphibian (California Treefrog) and one 

reptile (Western Rattlesnake) remain undocumented from MOJA, resulting in an estimated 

inventory completeness of 67% for amphibians and 97% for reptiles. However, reports of both of 

these species are problematic, and it is possible that neither one inhabits MOJA, in which case 

inventory completeness would be 100% for both amphibians and reptiles. 

Evaluation of Inventory Completeness through Species Accumulation 

A species accumulation curve (plotted per survey day) for 2004-2005 data is shown in Figure 1. 

This curve is strongly asymptotic, as 27 of the 31 species we recorded were found in the first 

four days of the inventory. This curve would have risen even more sharply had we visited Kelso 

Dunes in the first few survey days, as we easily would have detected Mojave Fringe-toed Lizard 

there. This strongly asymptotic curve suggests that we are close to detecting all the species 

present at MOJA. However, from literature and museum specimen records we know that an 

additional seven species are present (Table 4). Because the remaining species we did not detect 

are either rare (e.g., Gila Monster) or secretive (e.g., Ground Snake, Ring-necked Snake), finding 

them would likely require much greater field effort and/or different field methods (e.g., pitfall or 

funnel traps for snakes). Species accumulation curves can be valid estimators of inventory 

8 
completeness in situations involving large numbers of species, extensive survey periods, and a 

wide variety of field methods (e.g., Scott 1994). However, given our knowledge of the habitats 

and local distribution of potential species, as well as museum specimen records, we believe the 

master list approach provides a more precise estimate of inventory completeness at MOJA. 

Rare, Exotic, or Sensitive Species 

The Desert Tortoise is the only species we recorded at MOJA that is listed (as Threatened) under 

the federal Endangered Species Act. We did not attempt to review the extensive literature on this 

species, which is known to occur throughout MOJA (e.g., Germano et al. 1994; Appendix C). A 

long-term Desert Tortoise monitoring plot has been established in Ivanpah Valley for decades 

(e.g., Berry and Medica 1995). We found 15 Desert Tortoises in 2004-2005, including four old, 

weathered shell remains. We found tortoises in lower Bull Canyon (Granite Mountains), near 

Budweiser Spring (Granite Mountains), along the powerline road north of the Granite 

Mountains, on the Kelso Dunes road, on Kelbaker Road near Kelso Dunes Road, below 

Cornfield Spring, in the Kelso Mountains and on the eastern bajada of the Ivanpah Mountains. 

Although outside the Preserve, we also frequently saw tortoises along the dirt roads between US 

95 and the eastern MOJA boundary near Piute Creek. 

Mojave Fringe-toed Lizard and Gila Monster, both documented from MOJA, are listed as 

Species of Special Concern by the state of California (Jennings and Hayes 1994). We found 

Mojave Fringe-toed Lizards commonly at Kelso Dunes, and despite targeted searches did not 

find any Gila Monsters during our surveys. Details on the distribution of these species in the 

Preserve are found in the species accounts (Appendix A). 

The Pacific Treefrog, which is native west of MOJA in the Mojave River system, only occurs at 

MOJA in and around the large pond at the Desert Studies Center at Zzyzx, and was probably 

introduced sometime after the pond was constructed (Bill Presch, personal communication). 

Bullfrogs, which are native to eastern North America, formerly occurred in this pond (Bill 

Presch, personal communication), but are no longer found there or elsewhere in the Preserve. In 

1992, BLM personnel relocated a few Western Pond Turtles from Camp Cady west of MOJA 

(where they are native) to the pond at Zzyzx, but the lack of recent sightings suggests they did 

not survive (Jeff Lovich, personal communication). 

Herpetofauna of Priority Sampling Areas 

Much of our survey effort was concentrated in the predetermined priority sampling areas (Clark 

Mountain Range, Piute Range, Piute Creek, and Cornfield Spring). The Piute Range, with the 

exception of Piute Spring and Piute Creek, is relatively dry, with little chance of harboring new 

species, and we spent the least effort there among the four priority areas. Previous surveys in the 

priority sampling areas included Mitchell (1978) for the Clark Mountain area, Hazard and 

Rotenberry (1996) and Ulmer (1983) for Piute Creek, and Hazard and Rotenberry (1996) for 

Cornfield Spring. Based on these reports and museum specimen review (Appendix C), we found 

no new species in the Clark Mountains, and we only recorded Western Shovel-nosed Snake from 

the Lanfair Valley on the western edge of the Piute Range. However, we did record three new 

species at Piute Creek (Long-nosed Snake [shed skin only], Gopher Snake, and Speckled 

Rattlesnake), and at Cornfield Spring we found Desert Tortoise (shell remains only), Gilbert’s 

Skink (shed skin only), Rosy Boa, and Coachwhip (shed skin only), in addition to previously 

recorded species. The Clark Mountain Range is a large area with a wide range of elevations and 

habitats, and most of the species occurring at MOJA probably occur somewhere in the Clark 

Mountain unit. The most noteworthy features of the Clark Mountain area are the presence of the 

highest elevation habitats in the Preserve (where Western Fence Lizards are common), Pachalka 

9 
Spring (where Gilbert’s Skinks and Ring-necked Snakes have been found, and Gila Monsters 

may occur), and the eastern slopes in the vicinity of Ivanpah Spring, where the first recorded 

Gila Monster at MOJA (Bradley and Deacon 1966) was likely collected. Johnson et al. (1948) 

reported seeing an old Desert Tortoise carapace on the north side of Clark Mountain, but we 

know of no other records (Mitchell 1978, Appendix C), and do not know the status of the species 

there. Piute Creek and Cornfield Spring are both perennial streams, and Red-spotted Toads are 

abundant at both sites. Gila Monsters have been recorded from Piute Creek, and probably occur 

at Cornfield Spring as well. Ring-necked Snake, which is rare in the Preserve (and in the Mojave 

Desert generally), has been found at Piute Creek (Hazard and Rotenberry 1996), and it may also 

occur at Cornfield Spring. Other uncommon species (e.g., Western Ground Snake, Southwestern 

Black-headed Snake, Western Lyre Snake) may also occur at one or both of these sites. 

Additional surveys would likely record many more species in these areas, particularly at 

Cornfield Spring, which has not been surveyed as much as Piute Creek over the years. A 

complete list of species documented from each priority sampling area is found in Appendix D. 

Specimens Collected 

We collected nine reptile specimens at MOJA during our surveys, mostly snakes and lizards 

found dead on roads. The one live animal we collected was a Long-tailed Brush Lizard at Piute 

Creek. A complete list of these specimens and associated collection and cataloging data is found 

in Table 5. All of these specimens are deposited in the herpetology collection at the Natural 

History Museum of Los Angeles County. Specimens were collected under research permit 

numbers MOJA-2003-SCI-0071 and MOJA-2005-SCI-0013, and cataloged under accession 

number MOJA-32. 

Update of NPSpecies and NatureBib Databases 

Prior to this project, the NPSpecies database for amphibians and reptiles at MOJA contained 

numerous omissions, synonymies, and outdated or inaccurate subspecies names. NPSpecies 

checklist field assignments for all species are given in Table 4, and we are working with MOJN 

staff on populating NPSpecies with this information, as well as uploading bibliographic and 

museum specimen data into NatureBib and NPSpecies, respectively. 

Considerations for Future Inventory Work and Long-term Monitoring 

Future Inventory Work 

We estimate that we have documented >90% of the reptile species present at MOJA, and of 

reptiles and amphibians combined. Our estimate of 67% inventory completeness for amphibians 

may be conservative, as the one undocumented species (California Treefrog) may not occur, and 

reports (all aural) could be based on misidentifications. Future inventory effort for amphibians 

should be directed towards determining the status of California Treefrog by intensive, repeated 

surveys in the Cove Spring area of the Granite Mountains. The only reptile we have included as 

hypothetical is the Western Rattlesnake. If this species does occur within MOJA, it would most 

likely be in the upper elevation woodlands of the higher mountains (e.g., Clark, New York, 

Providence Mountains). 

Although most (if not all) potentially occurring species of amphibians and reptiles have been 

documented from MOJA, many species are known from only a handful of observations, and next 

to nothing is known about their status or distribution within the Preserve. Much more field effort 

will be needed to determine the current status of Gila Monsters, which haven’t been positively 

recorded from MOJA since 1982 (Lovich and Beaman in press). Other species with very little 

10 
information from within the Preserve include Ring-necked Snake, Western Ground Snake, 

Southwestern Black-headed Snake, and Western Lyre Snake. 

New species or range extensions within the Preserve may be documented opportunistically. 

Observations and/or collections by NPS staff can be invaluable in these efforts, especially for 

uncommon or secretive species that are generally undetected during periodic, short duration 

visits by researchers. Solid baseline data exist on occurrence of amphibian and reptile species at 

MOJA, and help of interested staff and volunteers can be directed towards documenting 

suspected or rare species. Road-killed animals should be salvaged and placed in the freezer until 

they can be properly preserved. These specimens should be double or triple bagged in plastic ziploc or similar bags, with an effort made to squeeze excess air out of the bags, and complete 

collection data (date, collector, and precise location, preferably with UTM coordinates) included 

in the bags with the specimens. 

Long-term Monitoring 

Monitoring of rare amphibian and reptile species, which are often of interest as potential “vital 

signs” of ecosystem health, would be extremely difficult in most cases, simply because they are 

so hard to locate. The extreme difficulty in capturing large enough sample sizes of such species 

for statistical analysis would probably preclude their use as monitoring targets. Instead, 

herpetofauna monitoring at MOJA should focus on the entire community where possible, and 

targeted monitoring should focus on the most common species or species groups. These target 

species should be common, easily observed and counted, and respond predictably and 

measurably to fluctuations of climatic variables. 

Although only one native amphibian (Red-spotted Toad) has been documented from MOJA, 

monitoring of amphibians may provide valuable information for the Preserve. It is widely 

acknowledged that amphibian populations have declined throughout the world (e.g., Houlahan et 

al. 2003), although their suitability as biological “indicator” species has recently been challenged 

(Beebee and Griffiths 2005). Factors implicated in declines include habitat destruction, global 

climate change, chemical contamination, disease, invasive species, and commercial exploitation 

(Semlitsch 2003). Because natural fluctuations in amphibian populations are often so great from 

year to year (e.g., Pechmann et al. 1991), long-term studies are often necessary to estimate 

population status. As well, only long-term monitoring efforts may separate these natural 

fluctuations from human-caused impacts (Pechmann et al. 1991). In addition, monitoring within 

natural areas can serve as an important baseline against which to judge population changes in 

more managed habitats (Adams and Bury 2002), and National Parks are an ideal location for 

such long-term monitoring (Hall and Langtimm 2001). Red-spotted Toads are widespread at 

MOJA, and monitoring could include nocturnal call surveys or visual walking surveys of known 

breeding areas, which are primarily permanent and semi-permanent streams in the various 

mountains within the Preserve. Large-scale site occupancy rate monitoring of spring and stream 

areas throughout the park could be analyzed using Percent Area Occupied analysis (e.g. 

MacKenzie et al. 2002). These surveys could be conducted during periods when tadpoles would 

likely be present, allowing site occupancy to be verified even when no adult animals are 

observed (e.g., midday during warm, dry weather). The recent discovery by Liz Gallegos and 

Rob Fisher (USGS San Diego Field Station) of malformed Red-spotted Toads at Piute Creek 

(Liz Gallegos, personal communication) is cause for concern, and they are continuing to research 

the situation. These malformations could be caused by changes in water temperature or 

chemistry following the fire along Piute Creek in 2004, residual contaminants from old mining 

operations, herbicides used in tamarisk removal, or other factors (Liz Gallegos, personal 

11 
communication). Given this discovery, monitoring of Red-spotted Toads at Piute Creek should 

be a priority. 

For reptiles, we propose that monitoring should generally encompass communities of species 

(e.g., diurnal lizards), and focus especially on the most common species (e.g., Side-blotched 

Lizard, Western Whiptail, Zebra-tailed Lizard). An exception might be Mojave Fringe-toed 

Lizard, which could be monitored separately at Kelso Dunes. Due to its status under the federal 

Endangered Species Act, the Desert Tortoise may continue to be the focus of targeted monitoring 

within the Preserve. Lizards, which are relatively sedentary, usually show relatively rapid and 

substantial population responses to fluctuations in precipitation and concomitant variation in 

primary productivity at a site. For this reason, common diurnal desert lizards have been the 

centerpieces of herpetofauna monitoring at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument for over a 

decade (Rosen 2000, Rosen and Lowe 1996). Careful placement of permanent monitoring sites 

at MOJA could also include other locally common species such as Great Basin Collared Lizard, 

Common Chuckwalla, and Desert Spiny Lizard. Potential monitoring methods for lizards include 

time-area constrained searches (Crump and Scott 1994), lizard line transect surveys (Rosen and 

Lowe 1995, 1996), or pitfall trapping (Campbell and Christman 1982). Because lizard lines 

(Rosen and Lowe 1995, 1996) use the peak value observed on one of many transect walks 

conducted at a site during each survey, they help correct for differences in lizard activity 

throughout the survey period (usually an entire morning). In addition, because they are linear and 

only one transect walk is used in analysis (per species), they avoid double counting, which is a 

potential problem in using time-area constrained searches as a monitoring method. 

Swann (1999), using transect methods of Rosen and Lowe (1995, 1996), used power analysis to 

evaluate the amount of effort required to detect changes in populations of common lizard species 

at Tonto National Monument, Arizona. He concluded that the effort needed to detect trends in 

even the most abundant species would be prohibitive for a small park like Tonto. For example, 

he determined that detecting a 2% annual decline over ten years in the two most common lizard 

species would require 120 person-days of fieldwork annually. However, common desert lizards 

have been successfully monitored for over a decade at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, 

Arizona (ORPI) using line transect methods with only about 40 person-days of fieldwork 

annually (Rosen 2000). Before implementation of a monitoring program at MOJA, a pilot study 

should be conducted in order to estimate the number of sites and surveys that would be needed to 

generate sample sizes adequate for statistical analysis of trends. 

If snakes are included in herpetofauna monitoring at MOJA, this group should be monitored with 

night driving surveys. Unlike with diurnal lizards, where sufficient sample sizes of a few 

common species can be obtained, monitoring of snakes should probably focus on trends in 

ecological subsets of the snake community, such as lizard-eating snakes, rodent-eating snakes, or 

egg-laying versus viviparous species (e.g., Price and LaPointe 1990). Trends in these ecological 

groups may reflect changes in environmental conditions, which are in turn affecting predator or 

prey availability, or moisture regimes affecting snake reproduction (e.g., desiccation of egg 

clutches). Another compelling reason to use road driving as a monitoring method for snakes is 

the possibility that road mortality may be having an impact on snake populations within the 

Preserve. All of the paved roads within MOJA would be suitable for such surveys, although 

Kelbaker Road and Kelso-Cima Road provide the longest one-way transects and pass through 

the greatest variety of habitats, and also have the highest snake mortality rates. 

A special area for multi-taxa long-term monitoring considerations is Piute Creek. The area of the 

creek with the densest mature trees burned in 2004, apparently from a human-caused fire. The 

12 
habitat composition and structure along the creek has been dramatically changed as a result of 

the fire (personal observation). In addition to researching the malformed Red-spotted Toads 

(above), it will be important to monitor this area and compare species recovery to baseline 

information from before the fire.

Appendixes 

Appendix A. Annotated list of amphibians and reptiles at Mojave National Preserve, including 

all documented and hypothetical species. Because we do not have data on population sizes or 

density of species at MOJA, the use of the terms abundant, common, uncommon, and rare (the 

available abundance categories in NPSpecies) are necessarily somewhat subjective. They are 

designed to describe the relative abundance of a particular species, compared with other, similar 

species at MOJA, and also with the same species elsewhere throughout its range. Status of all 

documented and hypothetical species at MOJA, as well as NPSpecies checklist field 

assignments, are presented in Table 4. All documented species are represented by at least one 

voucher specimen in an institutional collection (Appendix C). 

Species Documented from Mojave National Preserve 

Red-spotted Toad (Bufo punctatus). This species, the only naturally occurring amphibian in the 

Preserve, has been collected in the Clark, Providence, and Granite Mountains, and at Piute Creek 

(Johnson et al. 1948, Appendix C). We recorded 308 transformed Red-spotted Toads during our 

surveys (plus many more tadpoles) at numerous springs and streams at MOJA, including 

Budweiser Wash, Bull Canyon, and Cove Spring in the Granite Mountains, Cornfield Spring in 

the Providence Mountains, and along Piute Creek. We also photographed an adult Red-spotted 

Toad in Caruthers Canyon in the New York Mountains, which is noteworthy because we did not 

locate any specimen or literature records for the species in the New York Mountains. Redspotted Toads were also photographed in Garvonzo Canyon (east of Brant siding) on the west 

side of the New York Mountains in 2005 (Debra Hughson, personal communication). During the 

relatively wet spring of 2005 we found this species along Bull Canyon as far downstream as the 

powerline access road at the base of the bajada, whereas in 2004 this was a large dry wash in that 

area. Red-spotted Toads are locally abundant at MOJA. 

Pacific Treefrog (Hyla regilla). The Pacific Treefrog, which is native in other parts of the 

Mojave Desert, only occurs in the Soda Spring area at MOJA, and was probably introduced 

following the construction of the ponds near what is now the Desert Studies Center at Zzyzx. 

They were collected as early as 1937 (Appendix C). Treefrogs formerly occupied some of the 

seeps along the entrance road, but apparently now only occur near the ponds (Rob Fulton and 

Bill Presch, personal communication). We did not record any Pacific Treefrogs during this 

inventory, nor did we survey specifically for them. 

Bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana). This species, which is native to the eastern United States, has been 

widely introduced in the west, often to the detriment of native amphibians and reptiles (e.g., 

Rosen and Schwalbe 2002). At MOJA, Bullfrogs formerly occupied the ponds at Soda Springs, 

but have apparently been extirpated (Rob Fulton and Bill Presch, personal communication). All 

other natural aquatic habitats at MOJA are probably too ephemeral to support Bullfrogs, which 

prefer permanent ponds or sluggish streams (Stebbins 2003). 

Western Pond Turtle (Clemmys marmorata). This highly aquatic turtle occurs as a disjunct, 

relictual population along the Mojave River west of MOJA, including at Camp Cady and Afton 

26 
Canyon (Lovich and Meyer 2002). In 1992 Bureau of Land Management personnel relocated a 

few Western Pond Turtles from Camp Cady to Lake Tuende at Zzyzx, but apparently they did 

not survive (Jeff Lovich, personal communication). Although this species has probably not 

occurred naturally at MOJA in historic times, it likely did occur there during the Pleistocene (Jeff 

Lovich, personal communication). 

Desert Tortoise (Gopherus agasssizii). We recorded 15 Desert Tortoises, four of which were 

old shell remains. We found tortoises in lower Bull Canyon (Granite Mountains), near 

Budweiser Spring (Granite Mountains), along the powerline road north of the Granite 

Mountains, on the Kelso Dunes road, on Kelbaker Road near Kelso Dunes Road, below 

Cornfield Spring, in the Kelso Mountains and on the eastern bajada of the Ivanpah Mountains. 

Although outside the Preserve, we also frequently saw tortoises along the dirt roads between US 

95 and the eastern MOJA boundary near Piute Creek. The Mojave Desert population (including 

MOJA) of Desert Tortoise is listed as Threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act. 

Desert Tortoises are common at MOJA, and are most frequently seen during spring. 

Western Banded Gecko (Coleonyx variegatus). We found this nocturnal lizard primarily in 

creosote bush desert habitats, and all but one individual (found under a rock near Pachalka 

Spring in the Clark Mountains) was observed while night driving. Ulmer (1983) reported a single 

capture at Piute Creek. Wallace (2003) captured them on a rocky creosote-dominated bajada near 

Soda Lake, and reported a severe decline between 1991-1993 and 2000-2001. Western Banded 

Geckos are probably common throughout most low and mid elevation habitats at MOJA, 

especially in rocky areas (e.g., Stein and Warrick 1979). 

Desert Iguana (Dipsosaurus dorsalis). We recorded 15 Desert Iguanas at MOJA, all from 

creosote bush desert areas, a habitat association also noted by Johnson et al. (1948). The 

important habitat components in these areas are likely the combination of open areas and sandy 

hummocks with shade and rodent burrows (Stebbins 2003). Desert Iguanas were most reliably 

found along the fringes of the Kelso Dunes (including along the access road), but are probably 

locally common in many areas of the Preserve. Wallace (2003) trapped them most commonly in 

rocky creosote habitat on the upper bajada portion of his study site. 

Common Chuckwalla (Sauromalus obesus). We recorded only 11 Common Chuckwallas in 

2004-2005, including in Bull Canyon and Budweiser Wash in the Granite Mountains, Jackass 

Canyon near Old Dad Mountain, and at Rock Spring in Cedar Canyon. The Rock Spring 

location, on a bouldery slope south of the creek, was approximately 1520 m (4947 ft) elevation, 

in an area of blackbrush and pinyon-juniper woodland. Johnson et al. (1948), who collected 

extensively in the Rock Spring area, did not record Chuckwalla there, and the highest elevation 

they recorded one anywhere in the region was 1372 m (4,500 ft). Mitchell (1978) reported four 

individuals from a rocky slope habitat in the Clark Mountains. Hazard and Rotenberry reported a 

possible sighting near Piute Spring, and one of us (EMN) also briefly observed a possible 

Chuckwalla in that area, which contains suitable-looking rocky habitat. Common Chuckwallas 

are locally common at MOJA. 

Great Basin Collared Lizard (Crotaphytus bicinctores). We observed 22 Great Basin Collared 

Lizards at MOJA during our surveys, all in rocky habitats. This conspicuous species is common 

in rocky areas throughout the Preserve, from low elevation creosote desert habitats up into the 

pinyon-juniper zone. 

27 
Long-nosed Leopard Lizard (Gambelia wislizenii). This relative of the collared lizards is 

common throughout MOJA, and is usually found in more open and less rocky terrain. We 

recorded 39 Long-nosed Leopard Lizards, from the creosote bush desert (including at Kelso 

Dunes) up into the pinyon-juniper zone. 

Zebra-tailed Lizard (Callisaurus draconoides). This was the third most common lizard species 

observed during our surveys. Zebra-tailed Lizards are abundant in desert habitats at MOJA, and 

are especially common near dunes, in open creosote bush desert, and along sandy washes and 

dirt roads. Wallace (2003) reported severe declines of Zebra-tailed Lizards between 1991-1993 

and 2000-2001 near Soda Dry Lake. 

Mojave Fringe-toed Lizard (Uma scoparia). This species, like other fringe-toed lizards, lives 

only on dunes and other areas of fine, windblown sand (Stebbins 2003). At MOJA, Mojave 

Fringe-toed Lizards are only found on Kelso Dunes and the associated dune habitats of Devil’s 

Playground directly to the northwest, where they are locally abundant. During one survey on the 

southern edge of Kelso Dunes we recorded 36 Fringe-toed Lizards in two and a half hours. 

Wallace (2003) reported a single pitfall trap capture from the west side of Soda Dry Lake. The 

Mojave Fringe-toed Lizard is listed as a Species of Special Concern by the state of California 

(Jennings and Hayes 1994). 

Desert Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus magister). Desert Spiny Lizards are abundant at MOJA, 

especially in rocky habitats, although they will climb on almost anything (Joshua trees, fence 

posts, etc.). They occur from the lowest deserts up into the pinyon-juniper zone, but are replaced 

by the Western Fence Lizard at the highest elevations. 

Western Fence Lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis). This species is found only in the higher 

elevations of MOJA, where it replaces the similar Desert Spiny Lizard. Both Bell and Price 

(1996) and Stebbins (2003) list “desert outposts,” including the Providence and New York 

Mountains and Midhills region at MOJA. However, Western Fence Lizards also occur in upper 

elevations on Clark Mountain (Johnson et al.1948, and present survey) and in the Granite 

Mountains (Driscoll 1987). We found them most abundantly in Caruthers Canyon in the New 

York Mountains, and they are probably common in many such areas of the Preserve. We did not 

observe Western Fence Lizards at either Piute Creek or Cornfield Spring, although the rocky 

slopes and wash directly above Cornfield Spring itself, at the lower edge of pinyon-juniper, look 

promising. 

Side-blotched Lizard (Uta stansburiana). This was the most frequently observed species during 

our surveys, and was found from the lowest valleys up into the pinyon-juniper habitats in the 

mountains. Wallace (2003) also reported this to be the most frequently captured species near 

Soda Dry Lake. Side-blotched Lizards are abundant throughout the Preserve. 

Long-tailed Brush Lizard (Urosaurus graciosus). Long-tailed Brush Lizards are usually found 

on trees and large shrubs in desert habitats (Stebbins 2003). We found this species on creosote 

bushes in lower Bull Canyon (near Kelso Dunes), on desert willows (Chilopsis linearis) in upper 

Bull Canyon, and on both desert willows and large mesquites (Prosopis) in Piute Creek. We also 

observed one well-camouflaged pale-colored individual on a large clump of galleta grass 

(Hilaria rigida) on Kelso Dunes. Johnson et al. (1948) only recorded them from the Kelso area, 

28 
and the only specimen record (Appendix C) from other than the Kelso Dunes, Bull Canyon, or 

Piute Creek areas is one collected at “Kelbaker Rd, 10-15 mi ESE of Hwy 15 at Baker,” which 

would be in the general vicinity of the lava beds area. Mitchell (1978) reports observing one 

individual in the creosote-Joshua tree association in the Clark Mountain area, but gives no 

additional information. Wallace (2003) reported Long-tailed Brush Lizards from the sandy 

creosote-dominated lower bajada portion of his study site on the west side of Soda Dry Lake. 

Wallace (2003) also reported severe declines (over 95%) in capture success in 2000-2001 

compared with 1991-1993, possiblty related to decreased precipiation in 2000-2001. Long-tailed 

Brush Lizards are locally common where they are known to occur at MOJA, and may be more 

widespread in the Preserve, especially in washes with well-developed desert willow stands. 

Desert Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma platyrhinos). Despite its cryptic appearance, we observed 

33 Desert Horned Lizards during our surveys, although most of these were made while driving, 

as they frequently bask on road surfaces. The species primarily occurs in the creosote bush 

habitats in the valleys and lower slopes at MOJA (Johnson et al. 1948), although we did observe 

one individual in higher elevation sagebrush habitat along Black Canyon Road. Desert Horned 

Lizards are common throughout MOJA. 

Desert Night Lizard (Xantusia vigilis). Although this species is usually associated with Joshua 

tree woodlands, where it takes refuge under dead limbs on the ground beneath trees (e.g., 

Johnson et al. 1948, Stebbins 2003, Zweifel and Lowe 1966), we also found them in areas devoid 

of Joshua trees, especially under boards and other trash associated with tumbledown buildings. 

In the Granite Mountains, Stein and Warrick (1979) found Desert Night Lizards commonly 

under dead Mojave yuccas (Yucca schidegera). Desert Night Lizards take refuge under tamarisk 

(Tamarix sp.) around the Desert Studies Center (Bill Presch, personal communication), although 

the species is probably much less common in such low desert habitats. Desert Night Lizards 

probably occur throughout MOJA, and they are probably abundant in most areas. 

Gilbert’s Skink (Eumeces gilberti). This large skink is known from the Clark, Granite, 

Providence, and New York mountains at MOJA (Johnson et al. 1948, Appendix C), where it 

occurs in various rocky or brushy habitats, usually near streams, springs, or dry washes (Johnson 

et al. 1948). We did not observe any Gilbert’s Skinks during our surveys, but we did find a piece 

of shed skin (with diagnostic cycloid skink-like scales) under debris near the stream below 

Cornfield Spring, which would be a new locality for the species (Hazard and Rotenberry 1996, 

Appendix C). Although they are probably locally common in many areas at MOJA, most 

observations are the result of pitfall trapping surveys (e.g., Driscoll 1987, Stein and Warrick 

1979), a fact that may explain why we did not record this species. 

Western Whiptail (Cnemidophorus tigris). This was the second most frequently observed 

lizard species during our surveys. It was also the second most abundant species captured in 

pitfall traps near Soda Dry Lake (Wallace 2003). Western Whiptails are common throughout the 

Preserve in all habitats up to the lower edge of the pinyon-juniper zone. 

Gila Monster (Heloderma suspectum). The Gila Monster is probably the rarest reptile species at 

MOJA, and perhaps in California as well. Lovich and Beaman (in press) reviewed all specimen 

records, published accounts, and unverified sighting reports known to them of Gila Monsters in 

California. The earliest report of the species from MOJA is Bradley and Deacon (1966), who 

collected a specimen in 1962 approximately 11 km (7 miles) southwest of the Nevada state line 

29 
on the eastern slope of the Clark Mountains. Based on that description, it seems likely that the 

specimen was collected in the vicinity of Ivanpah Springs, which contains suitable-looking rocky 

xeroriparian habitat in an area of otherwise dry desert. This locality, which is also the site of 

abandoned mines and associated roads and structures, is just west of (i.e., within) the current 

boundaries of MOJA. DeLisle (1979) reported the first sighting of a Gila Monster in the 

Providence Mountains (in 1968), near the old Vulcan Mine, and DeLisle (1983) later reported on 

nine additional sightings in the Providence Mountains during the “banner year” of 1982. Finally, 

Bicket (1982) photographed a Gila Monster at Piute Creek near Fort Piute in 1982. Multiple 

sightings have also been reported from the Kingston Range, north of MOJA, including as 

recently as May of 2006 (Lovich and Beaman in press).While surveying in 2005, local BLM 

ranger David Hall told us of a recent (spring 2005) sighting by a visitor in “Sandy Valley,” along 

Kingston Road between the Clark and Kingston ranges. The visitor showed Hall a digital 

photograph of a Gila Monster, and after talking to Hall we have confidence in his ability to 

identify the species. We surveyed the known localities within MOJA, as well as other sites with 

apparently suitable habitat (e.g., Cornfield Spring, Bull Canyon), but found no Gila Monsters. 

Given their occurrence at Vulcan Mine, it seems especially likely they also inhabit the nearby 

Cornfield Spring area, which appears to contain ideal habitat, including permanent water, shelter 

sites (rocks, burrows in embankments), and likely abundant vertebrate nest prey, especially 

mourning doves (Beck 2005, Beck and Jennings 2003). Lovich and Beaman (in press) suggest 

that the western distributional limit and rarity of Gila Monsters in the MOJA region is due to the 

lack of a biphasic rainfall pattern further west, as summer precipitation is important in their 

foraging ecology (Beck 2005). The lack of reports from the Granite Mountains, which lies to the 

west of the larger Providence Mountains and presumably receives less summer rainfall at a given 

elevation, may be the result of a real absence of the species from that range. However, the habitat 

in Bull Canyon, which has a northern exposure, semi-permanent water, and probably abundant 

prey, appears to be ideal. The Gila Monster is listed as a Species of Special Concern by the state 

of California (Jennings and Hayes 1994). 

Western Blind Snake (Leptotyphlops humilis). This small, secretive, burrowing species has 

been collected at Soda Springs (Appendix C) and Piute Creek (Ulmer 1983), and a specimen 

without data resides in the UC Granite Mountains Desert Research Center collection, possibly 

collected from the Granites (Appendix C). Stein and Warrick (1979) note four previous 

observations from the Granites: three in pitfall traps near Cottonwood Spring, and another near 

Budweiser Spring. Brown (1976, cited in Tate 1981) observed a road-killed Western Blind 

Snake on Kelbaker Road 5 km northwest of Kelso in 1975. Rob Fulton and Bill Presch (personal 

communication) report seeing the species commonly at the Desert Studies Center at Soda 

Springs on evenings after a heavy rain, and Wallace (2003) reported a single pitfall trap capture 

from near there. We did not observe Western Blind Snake during our surveys. Although rarely 

observed, this species may be more common and widespread at MOJA than the few records 

indicate. 

Rosy Boa (Charina trivirgata). Rosy Boas have been collected in the Granite (Cove Spring) and 

Providence (Bonanza King Mine, Vulcan Mine Road, Mitchell’s Caverns) Mountains at MOJA 

(Appendix C). Stein and Warrick (1979) also noted an observation from Cottonwood Basin in 

the Granites, and Tate (1981) reported a Rosy Boa from 1.3 km west of Kelso Peak in the Kelso 

Mountains. Tate (1981) indicated that he deposited the specimen at UC Santa Barbara (UCSB 

12083), and although Kent Beaman’s database contains UCSB records, it does not contain this or 

others from Tate’s survey. We found two Rosy Boas during our surveys, both from the vicinity 

30 
of the wash below Cornfield Spring in the Providence Mountains, apparently the first records 

from that location. Stebbins (2003) notes the apparent distributional gap between the Providence 

Mountains to the south and the Panamint Mountains (in Death Valley National Park) to the 

north, despite apparently suitable habitat in the New York, Clark, and Kingston mountains. 

Glossy Snake (Arizona elegans). We observed 30 Glossy Snakes at MOJA, the most of any 

snake species except Sidewinders. All of our observations were from roads, and all but one was 

at night. Most of the many specimens from MOJA were collected on roads (Appendix C). 

Johnson et al. (1948), who apparently did not employ night driving in their extensive inventory, 

failed to detect the species. Glossy Snakes are common throughout MOJA in all habitats below 

the pinyon-juniper zone. 

Western Shovel-nosed Snake (Chionactis occipitalis). This small, secretive species occurs in 

sandy desert habitats (Stebbins 2003). At MOJA, Western Shovel-nosed Snakes have been 

collected from many such areas in the western half of the Preserve, roughly from Soda Lake to 

Kelso Dunes (Appendix C). They also have been collected on the Cima Road north of Interstate 

15, i.e., just west of the Clark Mountains (Mitchell 1978, Appendix C). Wallace (2003) reported 

40 captures in pitfall traps just west of Soda Dry Lake in 1991-1993 and 2000-2001, by far the 

most of any snake species he captured. Wallace (2003) captured them most commonly in middle 

bajada habitat of compact sand with scattered small rocks, even though his study area contained 

a less rocky, sandier habitat. We observed only three individuals in our surveys: one on Kelbaker 

Road ca. 3 miles east of Baker, one on Kelbaker Road 2.3 miles south of Kelso, and one under 

trash in a wash in Lanfair Valley, which may be the only record of the species in the eastern part 

of the Preserve. Although uncommonly observed, Western Shovel-nosed Snakes are probably 

locally abundant in some areas of MOJA. 

Ring-necked Snake (Diadophis punctatus). This species has a spotty, relictual distribution in 

the Southwest, where it occurs in mesic habitats in mountains and near springs and watercourses 

(Stebbins 2003). Old specimen records exist from the Mitchell Caverns area of the Providence 

Mountains (Appendix C), and Wood and Richmond (2003) recently reported a specimen from 

Pachalka Spring in the Clark Mountains. Hazard and Rotenberry (1996) observed a Ring-necked 

Snake near Piute Spring. It seems likely that other isolated populations exist in mesic locations 

within MOJA (e.g., Bull Canyon or Budweiser Wash in the Granites, Cornfield Spring in the 

Providence Mountains, Caruthers Canyon in the New York Mountains). 

Night Snake (Hypsiglena torquata). This strictly nocturnal species has been collected 

throughout MOJA, including in the vicinity of the Granite, Providence, and Clark mountains, as 

well as in lower elevation areas such as Soda Springs, along Kelbaker Road east of Kelso Dunes, 

and in Piute Creek (Appendix C). We only observed three Night Snakes in 2004-2005, all during 

night driving surveys (two on Kelbaker Road south of Kelso, one on Kelso-Cima Road). Night 

Snakes are probably common throughout the Preserve. 

Common Kingsnake (Lampropeltis getula). We only observed only one Common Kingsnake 

over the course of our surveys, a juvenile found on the Cima Road 3.2 miles north of Cima, in 

Joshua tree woodland. Johnson et al. (1948) also recorded only a single individual, from Cedar 

Canyon. Common Kingsnakes appear to be somewhat rare at MOJA, but have been collected 

from throughout the Preserve, including in or near the Granite, Providence, and New York 

mountains, as well as along Interstate 15 south of Clark Mountain (Appendix C). 

31 
Coachwhip (Masticophis flagellum). This large, fast snake is common throughout MOJA below 

the pinyon-juniper zone. We recorded 25 Coachwhips in 2004-2005, many of which were seen 

crossing roads in the heat of midday. We verified their presence at two priority sampling areas 

(Piute Creek and Cornfield Spring) by identification of shed skins. 

Striped Whipsnake (Masticophis taeniatus). This relative of the Coachwhip is found in the 

higher elevations of MOJA, and has been collected from the Granite, Providence, Midhills, New 

York, and Clark Mountains (Appendix C). We only observed a single Striped Whipsnake during 

our surveys, in Keystone Canyon in the New York Mountains. During the survey period, USGS 

colleagues conducting mammal surveys at MOJA observed two Striped Whipsnakes at high 

elevations (ca. 2,300 m) in the pinyon-juniper zone on Clark Mountain (David Tidhar, personal 

communication). This species is probably locally common in upper elevation pinyon-juniper 

habitats at MOJA. 

Spotted Leaf-nosed Snake (Phyllorynchus decurtatus). Once thought to be rare, the advent of 

night driving as a herpetofauna survey method showed this species to be abundant in many 

desert areas in the Southwest (e.g., Klauber 1939). We observed eight Spotted Leaf-nosed 

Snakes, all on the road at night (most of them dead), on Kelbaker Road and Kelso-Cima Road. 

Mitchell (1978) collected one on Cima Road west of Clark Mountain. The distribution of Spotted 

Leaf-nosed Snakes corresponds closely to that of creosote bush (Stebbins 2003), and it is 

probably common throughout such desert habitats at MOJA. 

Gopher Snake (Pituophis catenifer). This widespread, generalist species is fairly common 

throughout MOJA from creosote bush desert up into the pinyon-juniper woodlands, although 

most of our 17 observations were from middle elevation areas. We recorded Gopher Snake from 

Piute Creek, apparently the first record from that site (Hazard and Rotenberry 1996, Ulmer 1983, 

Appendix C). 

Long-nosed Snake (Rhinocheilus lecontei). We found 19 Long-nosed Snakes at MOJA in 

2004-2005, 17 of which were found while night driving. We found one under trash in a dry wash 

in Lanfair Valley, and we found a shed skin under a bush at Fort Piute, possibly a new record for 

the Piute Creek area (Appendix C). Stebbins (2003) notes that the species is cold-tolerant and we 

often found them (along with Glossy Snakes and Sidewinders) on roads on cold evenings at 

MOJA. Long-nosed Snakes appear to be common throughout MOJA, although they are probably 

restricted to habitats below the pinyon-juniper zone (Stebbins 2003). 

Western Patch-nosed Snake (Salvadora hexalepis). This diurnal species occurs in desert and 

shrub habitats below the pinyon-juniper zone at MOJA, and is probably common throughout the 

Preserve. We observed 14 Western Patch-nosed Snakes at scattered locations, and the species 

has been collected throughout the Preserve (Appendix C). We frequently found Western Patchnosed Snakes crossing roads during the day. 

Western Ground Snake (Sonora semiannulata). This small, attractive species has been 

recorded infrequently at MOJA, and we did not observe it during our surveys. Specimens have 

been collected from the Providence (Foshay Pass and Goldstone Spring areas) and New York 

mountains, and at Piute Creek (Appendix C). The New York Mountains specimen was collected 

on Ivanpah Road, 5.7 miles east of Ivanpah, in yucca-juniper woodland habitat (Brian McGurty, 

32 
personal communication). Johnson et al. (1948) noted a preserved specimen on display at 

Mitchell Caverns which was supposedly collected there. Stein and Warrick (1979) reported an 

earlier observation by Tim Brown a half mile south of Dorner’s Camp in the Granite Mountains, 

in which a pitfall trapped Common Kingsnake regurgitated a Western Ground Snake. The habitat 

at this location was a bouldery slope in pinyon-juniper woodland at 1,280 m (4,200 ft) elevation 

(Stein and Warrick 1979). Tate (1981) observed five Western Ground Snakes on rocky or grassy 

slopes and washes in the Kelso-Old Dad Mountains. Tate (1981) indicated that he deposited four 

of these specimens at UC Santa Barbara (UCSB 9528-31), and although Kent Beaman’s database 

contains UCSB records, it does not contain these or others from Tate’s survey. Western Ground 

Snakes probably occur in other lower and intermediate elevations throughout MOJA, in areas 

with some subsurface moisture (Stebbins 2003). 

Southwestern Black-headed Snake (Tantilla hobartsmithi). Stein and Warrick (1979) report a 

Southwestern Black-headed Snake collected in 1978 in Cottonwood Canyon in the Granite 

Mountains (Appendix C). Stein and Warrick (1979) also mention two previous sightings in the 

study area, which may be a reference to the specimens from “Granite Mtns” cited in Tanner 

(1966) as “UCLA 2 live snakes.” Cole and Hardy (1981) cite what are presumably the same two 

specimens, from “Granite Mtns,” as BYU 32371-2. Other surveys in seemingly appropriate 

habitat at MOJA (e.g., Hazard and Rotenberry 1996, Mitchell 1978, Tate 1981, Ulmer 1983) 

failed to detect the species, as did we. Southwestern Black-headed snakes occur in a variety of 

habitats in the region (Stebbins 2003), and it seems likely that this small, secretive species occurs 

in other places at MOJA. 

Western Lyre Snake (Trimorphodon biscutatus). Bob Macey collected a specimen of Western 

Lyre Snake at Kelso Dunes in 1986 (Appendix C), which is the only specimen of the species 

from MOJA known to us. The specimen was found with a chunk missing, and was presumably 

dropped by an avian predator, which likely caught it in the nearby Granite or Providence 

Mountains (Bob Macey, personal communication). Stein and Warrick (1979) report on a 1965 

observation by Lan Lester of the Los Angeles County Museum at Coyote Spring in the Granites, 

in habitat described as “Yucca scrub/rocks.” Jim Andre (personal communication) also once 

observed a Western Lyre Snake in the Granites. Tate (1981), who was lucky enough to have 

obtained a copy of Brown (1976), cited Brown’s two observations from MOJA: one at Dawes 

Siding on the Kelso-Cima Road, and on the Vulcan Mine Road. This primarily nocturnal species 

is generally found in rocky habitats in deserts and lower mountain slopes (Stebbins 2003), and 

may occur throughout much of MOJA. 

Sidewinder (Crotalus cerastes). This was the most frequently observed snake species during our 

surveys, and is common in sandy desert creosote bush habitats throughout the Preserve. We 

observed 11 Sidewinders during one night drive along the powerline road near Piute Creek in 

2005, and snakes or their tracks were frequently observed at Kelso Dunes. 

Speckled Rattlesnake (Crotalus mitchellii). We observed 16 Speckled Rattlesnakes throughout 

MOJA during our surveys, and this common species was the characteristic rattlesnake of rocky 

habitats in the Preserve, from lower mountain slopes up into the pinyon-juniper zone. We rarely 

surveyed the Cornfield Spring area without observing this species. Compared with other species 

in the Southwest, Speckled Rattlesnakes are quick to rattle, and most of our sightings at MOJA 

were of snakes that alerted us to their presence before we saw them, which added to the 

excitement of many surveys. 

33 
Mojave Rattlesnake (Crotalus scutulatus). We recorded 17 Mojave Rattlesnakes at MOJA, 

and this species is common in the cactus-yucca scrub and Joshua tree woodland habitats. 

Although there are likely ecotonal areas where two or three rattlesnakes occur together, in 

general the three species of rattlesnakes at MOJA exhibit predictable habitat segregation 

throughout the Preserve, with Sidewinders occurring in the sandy, creosote deserts, Speckled 

Rattlesnakes in rocky areas, and Mojave Rattlesnakes in the relatively rock-free, mid-elevation 

habitats. 

Species That Possibly Occur at Mojave National Preserve 

California Treefrog (Hyla cadaverina). The California Treefrog is associated with the southern 

California mountains, and occurs as close to MOJA as the eastern slope of the Peninsular Ranges 

(e.g., Little San Bernardino Mountains) and at desert oases (Indian Cove, Fortynine Palms) in 

Joshua Tree National Park (Gaudin 1979, Miller and Stebbins 1964, Stebbins 2003). Greene and 

Luke (1996) reported a recent discovery of the species from a “mountain spring on the Granite 

Mountains Reserve.” Ken Norris, late UCLA herpetologist whose family owns the “bunny club” 

at Cove Spring within the UC Granite Mountains Desert Research Center reportedly heard 

California Treefrogs from the cottonwood-lined stream just below Cove Spring (Jim Andre, 

personal communication). Ken Norris’ brother Bob has a son (Jim) who also claims to have 

heard them there (Jim Andre, personal communication). Greene and Luke (1996) may be 

referring to these reports, or to Glenn Stewart’s (Cal Poly-Pomona herpetologist) sightings of 

tadpoles in upper Granite Cove (Jim Andre, personal communication). Although he initially 

suspected the tadpoles (which were not collected) to be California Treefrogs, Stewart now 

believes they were Red-spotted Toads (Glenn Stewart, personal communication). Finally, Jim 

Andre and Claudia Luke reported hearing the call of a California Treefrog in Bull Canyon 

around 1996, but never observed the animal (Jim Andre, personal communication). We 

conducted both daytime walking surveys and nighttime call surveys below Cove Spring, but 

observed and heard only Red-spotted Toads. Although it is possible that a relictual population of 

California Treefrogs could occur in the Granites, the lack of direct evidence suggests that 

perhaps most or all of the reports are based on misidentifications of aberrant Red-spotted Toad 

calls. For example, Miller and Stebbins (1964) note that occasional individual Red-spotted Toads 

give a “wheezy” call, unlike their normal trilling calls. In addition, California Treefrogs 

generally call both day and night during the breeding season (Stebbins 2003), and it seems 

unlikely that the presence of a viable population in such a restricted and accessible site as Cove 

Spring would be so hard to confirm. Although it is hard to ignore a report by an eminent 

herpetologist like Ken Norris, a final possibility is that California Treefrogs were at one time 

introduced at Cove Spring. 

Western Rattlesnake (Crotalus viridis). Two similar dark-colored subspecies of the Western 

Rattlesnake, the Southern Pacific Rattlesnake (C. v. helleri) in coastal California and the Arizona 

Black Rattlesnake (C. v. cerberus) in Arizona, occur to the west and east, respectively, of MOJA. 

Recent research has regarded these two forms as either subspecies (C. oreganus cerberus and C. 

o. helleri) within a western clade of former Western Rattlesnake subspecies (e.g., Ashton and de 

Queiroz 2001) or as the separate species C. cerberus and C. helleri (Brennan and Holycross 

2006, Douglas et al. 2002). Greene and Luke (1996) suggested, based on the similarity of 

34 
juveniles of each form, that the two subspecies may have become geographically separated only 

recently, and that relictual populations of one or the other subspecies (or a new, undescribed 

form) could occur in the high mountain ranges of the eastern Mojave Desert. Brian McGurty, 

while conducting herpetofauna surveys for BLM in 1977, heard a rumor of “black rattlesnakes” 

occurring in the extreme northern end of the New York Mountains (Brian McGurty, personal 

communication). Although probably referring to darker than usual Speckled Rattlesnakes, which 

are the only species known from the higher elevations at MOJA, the description of “black” 

rattlesnakes is intriguing, as we have never seen, at MOJA or elsewhere, a Speckled Rattlesnake 

that could be described as such. Based on habitat availability, relict populations of Western 

Rattlesnake would be most likely in the rocky, wooded upper elevations of the Providence, New 

York, or Clark Mountains.
