Western Ground Snake (Sonora semiannulata) against red rock This species is sometimes solid colored and sometimes striped and sometimes banded. I've personally only seen a few individuals, and they were all banded. This was the most brightly colored individual of the ones I saw.

The western ground snake is a species of small, harmless colubrid snake endemic to North America. It is sometimes referred to as the common ground snake or variable ground snake as its patterning and coloration can vary widely, even within the same geographic region.
