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.
