Sonoran Gopher Snake (Pituophis catenifer affinis) was a really neat species to find out on the crawl after a good rain! These snakes are like the western pine snakes of the US to me, even being in the same genus of course! This one for some reason decided my head was a good chill spot! 😂 🐍🏜️🐍🏜️🐍🏜️🐍🏜️🐍🏜️🐍🏜️🐍🏜️🐍🏜️🐍🏜️🐍 #wildlife #nature #instagramreels #naturephotography #wildlifeplanet #animals #wildlifewarriors #wildlifephoto #wild #animal #naturelovers #wildlifeonearth #stev
