that's a tough one to call-she's a ringer for 'applegate' phase san diego....yet her body blotches are pretty large/well defined,like a sonoran....sure she's not an intergrade of the two?sorry for wishy washy answer,lol...but my money would go on san diego.

you know what?i want to change my answer...those blotches just are too big for a san diego gopher...like i said,looks like a possible intergrade between the two,but if it's 100%anything,it's sonoran...'final answer',lol.

Hi ZAC,

your animal is an amelanistic bull snake, Pituophis c. sayi. At the first pic the typical markings are good visible, at the second pic one can see clearly the higher than broad snout scale. It is a sayi.
And it is ageressive like a sayi

If this is the answere of the question about the "locality" of this snake...

Regards,

Bernd
