Amazingly, yor Secretive Snake
A ground snake (Sonora semiannulata), looks more like the harder to find Tantilla hobartsmithi.

Thanks for the correction guys,
My "Reptiles of the Lake Mead Area" book makes no mention of blackhead snakes, but I thought it was a tantilla too.
I checked in Bartlett's "Snakes of North America" and it looks like maybe I was right on the edge of their range. Anyhow, I took your suggestion and "re-identified" it.
