Don't look like the bull snakes we have around here, not sure what it is. We were playing freezbie golf yeasterday and seen two bull snakes mateing. Didn't even think of taking a picture. But the are far more yellow here.

Sandy: [with heavy Scottish brogue] Carl, I want you to kill all the gophers on the course.
Carl: Correct me if I’m wrong, Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they’ll lock me up and throw away the key.
Sandy: Not golfers, you great git! Gophers- the little brown, furry rodents!
