Notes

This snake was 4'6" and had a large meal in its stomach. Was found in a customers storage area. Was very passive in nature and made no attempt to bite. The snake was left on the customers property when the customer saw that it was a nice snake!
Thanks Jonathan Hakim for proper ID!

Are you sure this is Pituophis catenifer catenifer? I believe they are only found north of Santa Barbara, and that the L.A. county subspecies is P. c. annectens.
