I believe that's a rat snake. Either that or a black mamba viper cobra.

You were at the very tip of the range, but it's a California Glossy snake.

Are you the crocodile hunter? Who the hell goes around grabbing random snakes they can't ID before hand, and then ask "hey Yall what's this?"

Louisiana Pine Snake.

*Edit* Ok you're not in LA. It's some kind of Pituophis (gopher, bull, or pine snake).

In northern cal, I think it would be a gopher snake.

He/we know the few venomous ones. After eliminating those, it's all just a matter over very tiny teeth marks you can barely feel. There was no risk there.

it's relatively easy to determine whether a snake is poisonous before picking up. this one was pretty docile.

Check the head markings of Mung's vs. this of a California Glossy. Then again, looks like Gopher too. Hmmm



Gopher

Yeah, the markings are very similar. I don't know enough about either to say 100%. I assumed he was in louisiana when I first posted, so I immediately thought pine snake, and then stayed with the Pituophis genus.

my winemaker buddy, who is local, said it was a gopher snake. Skyline Wilderness Park has a good number of gophers, though they seem too big for this guy to eat.

Scales appear slightly keeled. I'm sticking with gopher snake.

I'm surprised the two are of different genus.
