>>Hello, I live in mesa, AZ and have found about 7 snakes in my back yard, they were all under bags of soil, and they are all the same type of snake, I ran in to get my camera and by then they were gone, they werent banded like a coral snake, but they had some types of band, the colors were black/red/yellow/red/black and the colors were very faded, I thought that it was a kingsnake of some type, but am not sure, I am almost positive that it wasnt a coral snake, and just wanted to know if anyone might know what snakes these are, I have quite a few herps but I never got into the colubrids at all and I have never learned about our native reptiles except for the rattlesnakes, they were all around 8-9inches in length were they possibly starting to hibertnate? Any help welcome

>>thanks
