Google has me thinking Thayer's kingsnake.
gray banded kingsnake - Google Search

A "normal" California kingsnake would have black/brownish and yellow/whitish bands, not gray or orange/red. Mountain kingsnakes may have the orange bands, but I haven't seen one with gray. Doesn't mean it isn't possible though! I don't know enough about kingsnake variations to say for sure.

It does not look like a grey banded king to me. It does resemble a Thayer's.
