From DOA:

The snake that was killed yesterday near Nimitz Hwy and Valkenburg has been identified as a male bullsnake  (Pituophis catenifer sayi), which is a subspecies of the gopher snake.  From the size of the snake, it is believed to be a juvenile. 

Bullsnakes are non-venomous. They are found in North America and may grow up to about six feet. Their diet consists of small rodents, young rabbits, lizards, birds and their eggs. Prey is killed by constriction and suffocation.
