Ah, Shannon you do have an eye for GB's. She is Las Vegas Wash, Clark Co. NV locality. Although she is a good example of "classic" deserticola I have seen a few from that area that exhibited noticable affinis intergrade pattern traits.
Several years ago I watched a 4 foot deserticola come out of a burrow tongue flicking. It crawled about 15 feet over to a k-rat that had just been killed by a dozer. The snake went over to the crushed rat, peeled it up off the dirt and proceed to swallow it while crawling back over to its burrow. Unfortunately I was without a camera.

Okay, w/out looking @ the other previous posters' answers, I'm gonna say undoubtably a Great Basin. As for locale I'm guessing somewhere in the neck of the High Desert (Antelope Valley) or up in the Kern County area here in CA.
