Great Plains ratsnake would be my guess, given the area.

That is 110% NOT a rattlesnake.

Re: Need help identifying snake

Do you have any additional pictures? We do not actually get rat snakes or corn snakes, so it is unlikely to be either of those. Its head is not triangular enough to be a baby rattlesnake.

In my professional opinion (I'm a field biologist! ), it looks like a juvenile lyre snake.

(hope that link works!)

Here's another link:
Trimorphodon lyrophanes - Baja California Lyresnake

BTW - I live and work about 80-100 miles north of you. Hi neighbor!
