any advice on what this snake is would be nice.

It's a page cannot be found snake. A very common species indeed!

You accidentaly posted the pic URL in the link box rather than the image box.

This is some sort of milksnake. It looks a little like a Louisiana Milk or it could be one of the western US forms.

BTW - you should resize pics before posting them here.

On reconsidering your picture, I have to say I am unsure. The band count is too high for a LA Milksnake I think. It is also too heavy bodied, but that could just be the result of being in captivity and overweight.

If I had to bet, I would bet on it being some sort of captive intergrade milksnake where someone crossed a pueblan with something else. Hard to say but some of the milksnake guys on the milksnake forum could certainly give a better answer.

Honestly... it's looks like taylori. Utah milk -- I have seen animals specific to "Parachute, CO" locale that very much resemble this snake. Although in fairness w/o history it could be 'anything.'

it looks like an intergrade between a mexican milk and an alburqurque new mexican milk to me because of the high band count, fat head and overal look

It does indeed resemble an intergrade of the two western subspecies you mentioned.
