This is a Pacific Gopher Snake who came up to our property and I was able to get some shots of this interesting snake. He was very gentle and let me stick my lens in it's face. I was shaking as I took the picture with one hand hoping he would not break my lens or bite me on the hand. He coiled up just enough to make for an interesting shot. The snake stayed pretty relaxed and moved on. It came back to our house abut two days later. I used a stick and picked him up and took him to the near by open space were we live. It was fun getting a chance to photograph a wild snake who was on the go. He was an adult about 4-5 feet in length.
