It's a Bullsnake. It is nonvenomous. Nice find.

Nice bull snake! They're pretty common in and around Denver. I find them pretty frequently out east of the city.

Re: Type of snake?

Doesn't Denver get really cold during the fall and winter season? How do these snakes survive?

They hibernate underground like they do in every other temperate area.

Common misconception. Denver is not any colder than Illinois, but as is most places in our temperate zone reptiles do hibernate during the winter.

Re: Type of snake?

Even though we can got quite cold and tons of snow can and does fall, it actually can be quite nice during the winter as well. Growing up in Nebraska we would go for a few weeks at a time with overcast skies in the winter, in the two years that I've been in Denver It's never been more than a few days. The roads dry and don't get ice packed like the plains states do for weeks on end.

And yes, the snakes hibernate during winter months. Evolution is an amazing thing and life always seems to find a way.
