Pituophis catenifer sayi (Schlegel, 1837)
Road in Arizona
What a great spotting! Bullsnakes and gopher snakes are great snakes to have around but often get a bad rap. You have this snake labeled as a bullsnake which is a subspecies of gopher snake but does not occur in Arizona. In your part of AZ, you have Soronan Gopher Snakes.
