What kind of snake is this?

[GEEZER]

If memory serves, the snake is a pituofus contenifer desertacola (sp) or desert bull snake and they are a very beneficial snake in that their main diet is rodents. My great uncle farmed a little piece of ground out near Baker Nev. a long time ago & he claimed that if it weren't for the snakes, the gophers would get his whole barley crop.
