Is this a gopher?

I wasnt sure if it was a pit when I found it, it had a strange pattern. I have found pits before but not like this one. I believe we have catenifers out here.

That could be it then, thanks for the help

I wish that I had determined if the scales were smooth or not, that would have helped.
