Video: Snake Gets Police Escort

Check out this fun video of a beautiful snake getting some help crossing a Pleasanton street from a local police officer.

Any guesses as to what kind it is? Based on the California Herps identification page, it looks like a California glossy. 

It's a pretty good size, for sure. Have you seen snakes like this in your neighborhood? Seen any other types?

We're always on the lookout for rattlers during hikes in the East Bay hills.

And a long time ago I saw a baby Alameda racer up at the Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park on a stormy day.
