If your going to guess, use common knowledge. Without a pic its a guess based on a poor discription. Mesa has ground snakes commonly, it doesn't have shovelnosed, to far east and wrong habitat. It has longnose snakes, but ground snakes are very common in colder weather(on the surface) Ground snakes come in all manner of patterns and color. From striped to unicolor, to banded, to bicolor to tricolor.

So unless the person gives better details, or a pic, the best guess is what its most likely to be, a ground snake. Of course it could be a retic. FR
