Snake ID Please

I know this is not a fishing related topic but my wife photographed this guy in our yard and we would like to know what it is.

Baby California King Snake!

Those are nice snakes, They eat rattlesnakes! They also eat rats mice and lizards. They are not poisonous and wont attach you. But I wouldnt go poking a stick at it When they get full grown they will look like this!

Now see if it had been a fully grown one I would have known what it was right away. I have never seen the youthful ones. Well that could explain the decline in some of the lizards around here.

Cobra for sure! LOL.
Snakes are out right now! Saw my biggest gopher today hit by a car 3" diameter.
Had 5 rattlers right by the house last year...one morning looked out my dining room window and one was layed out right there. I'm in lower Jamul.
