Do garter snakes come in all colors??
This looks like one of the garter snakes (Thamnophis sp. http://www.californiaherps.com/noncal/no... ). There are about four species in your area. They can be extremely variable in color and pattern: solid, striped, speckled, checkered or a combination of these.
