California Kingsnake - Agua Fria National Monument

This is a California Kingsnake. The kingsnake has been found in deserts, riparian areas, woodlands, forests, and farmland from sea level to 7000 feet. Active in early morning and late afternoon when the weather is mild, the common kingsnake becomes nocturnal with the onset of extreme heat in summer.

It's always a great day when I see a snake. They are so challenging to photograph that I forget about my OCD and depression.  Unfortunately, they always try to get away from me so I pick them up for a photo, unless they are venomous.
