Hey all! I was hiking in central CA and found another snake that I could use help ID'ing. I'm guessing some kind of garter? We saw several of these, most about 3 feet long. Thanks for the help! (my apologies if the pic doesn't work...)

Are bull snakes and gopher snakes the same thing?

Bullsnakes and Gophersnakes are different subspecies (races) of the same species, Pituophis catenifer.

San Diego gopher.
I looks like ones I've seen in the Santa Barbara area (not far from pacific gopher range).
