I can't believe nobody got this yet, wow. Not even close to a Honduran, also definitely not a leonis/thayeri, only one person came reasonably close by guessing "CA mt. king or hybrid thereof" but it's not that either. It's a bad pic but if that's a touch of red I see on that black nose then it is most definitely a Ruthven's king snake. Lampropeltis ruthveni. They can look almost identical to L. zonata but sometimes more like a milk snake. IF it had a white nose, it would be a Sonoran Mt. king but it doesn't. Anyway, it isn't a hybrid either. It appears to be a very typical normal purebred ruthven's king snake.
