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...)

Pacific gopher snake.
You may want to take a look at the thread immediately before yours.

Are bull snakes and gopher snakes the same thing?
>>Are bull snakes and gopher snakes the same thing?
Bullsnakes and Gophersnakes are different subspecies (races) of the same species, Pituophis catenifer.

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