That's a Garter Snake. You said in you're previous post that you live in the Central Valley north of Sacramento, so I would guess it's a Valley Garter Snake.

doesn't have the red that valley garters have...I'm leaning more towards western terrestrial. Nice looking snake!

Yep, I just took a little refresher course on California Garters and I'd say that's right, Western Terrestrial.
