Notes
Snake was DOR
I'm almost certain this is T elegans elegans.
However, the head was missing, and I did not inspect it closely.
edit 090510 -
Specified species as T elegans elegans.
It's definitely not a valley or Oregon or Sierra. It looks like T elegans and there's nothing else native it could be.
