Looks like a gophersnake.
Ground squirrels and rattle snakes are an impressive example of coevolution. Adults of some species/populations, are immune to rattlesnake venom, but their pups aren't.. and snakes love to eat them.
Adult ground squirrels (and several other ground-dwelling rodents) actively signal at snakes to let them know that the snake has been spotted, and will get bit to shit if he tries to eat that squirrel's pups.
Recently it was demonstrated that ground squirrels can even heat up their tail when they see a snake.. sending such a signal to pit-vipers which can 'see' in near-infared.
..and there are tons more cool stories:
Squirrels disguise their scent by chewing on rattlesnake skin!
