spent the day in the promontory mountains yesterday and ran across this bull snake trying to get across the road. Needless to say he was not all that happy with me for interrupting him

They are harmless but let me tell you they do have teeth, a ton of VERY sharp teeth.

shame on me. i just looked them up and the bull and gopher snake are the same snake and yes they do have a lot of tiny teeth. glad i didnt get too cozy with him.
