Snake ID?
This guy was cruising along the wall. He doesn't have any markings of a gopher snake. So any ideas? telephoto shot not very clear.

Snake
If it looked like any of these, it is a Baja California Coachwhip, Chirrionera, Masticophis fuliginosus

Here in Baja Sur you may see 100 of these Latigo, Coachwhips, before you encounter any other snake === they are the top reptile here, quick, quiet,
non venomous rodent munchers.
