It is from Eastern Imperial County (BM) but I was once again told this was a coastal. I'll just leave it as Lichanura

The only place to find coastals in Imperial county is the far SW corner,
yours looks 100% desert and is probably from eastern Imperial co.
Nice find

If you found it in Imperial County it is a desert boa.
