Thanks for catching this for me; it should be the San Diego Nightsnake.

In current nomenclature this should be San Diego Nightsnake (ochrorhyncha klauberi) on the coast or or Desert Nightsnake (chlorophaea deserticola) in the desert. However, there's still more work overall that needs to be done in the scientific community with the subspecies and naming is in a bit of flux right now.
