Pituophis catenifer catenifer
They get their name from their love of their favorite prey, the Gopher.
They prefer drier habitats such as meadows, fields and agricultural farmland, and are seldom found in dense forests.
Found this little guy under my fake grass.

Gorgeous guy! Love the second photo :)

Nice capture, Joshua!
Not that I noticed. I think it got that weird looking shimmer from a combination of well applied dirt and heavy sunshine. but i really don't know that much about snakes.
Does it look like it is ready to shed it's skin?
