Yes, you are in Longnose range. I guess I'm not sure why you don't think you are. Even the range map on the link we gave you shows you on the edge of the range. Even the issue of finding 7 in your yard doesn't sound like a big deal to me. There are areas near me here in Tucson where they are very, very plentiful. It was probably nice and warm under those bags of soil and young snakes just took refuge there. he only other banded snake even left on the list that might match is the Variable Sand Snake. If you have a wash in or near the backyard, that is a possible one. Here is there link from the same page as the others.

Look at all of the snakes on these pages and decide what you have. All of the options are there. If your house in anywhere close to the edges of the range map, that is good enough. They maps are approximations and the snakes don't read them.
