Looks like some kind of hybrid like half and half.
Looks tasty.8-)
Found him on Red Lake Rd. Poked him couple times with the stick, made him a little mad then let him cross and continue on his way. :p
He woulda been 1.5' long x 2 when I was done with him.
I believe those are a protected species, I don't think you are allowed to kill them unless they are threatning you. I had 2 for pets for a couple of years, Rattle and Hum. I donated them to the Vancouver Aquarium when they got to big for their tank. Very cool and fun to scare people with.

I would have screamed like a girl, then drop a load in my shorts and run
I love snakes. Definitely would have been a good day for me seeing that. LR
All Snakes in BC are Protected Species. Unless you have a permit they are not legal to keep. These snakes are habituated to their densites and even with my permit I am not allowed to move them more than 500-1000m from where we catch them. This is the time of year when they are heading back to their den sites. Great pictures!!! Thank you.
Cool pics....but that one's just a baby:wink:.
Here's one from one of our vineyards near Oliver:cool:.
Looks like he's been doing his best to keep the vineyards mouse-free.
