Snake with mottled brown and black pattern, about 2 feet long.
Foothills of mountains near Los Angeles.
Possibly a young gopher snake or a night snake, but I can't say for sure. Here is a site that helps with ID'ing patterned snakes in California: http://www.californiaherps.com/identific...
Sorry, I've only got the 3 pix I uploaded! I didn't want to get too close or disturb it.
Hi and welcome to Project Noah! Do you happen to have any other photos of this snake? It would be very helpful in the identification process to see the entire snake. Thanks!
