Please identify this snake that I found on my property. I am hoping it is a gopher snake.
Thank you for the great photo! That really helps with identifying the snake.
This snake definitely appears to be a gopher snake, including that dark crescent marking that wraps from the jaw, over and through the eyes, to the other jaw. The snake will do a good job of keeping rodents in check around your house and garden!
