Pacific Ringneck Snake - a photo on Flickriver

            4131 Naturewood Ct, Fair Oaks / Sacramento County, California

The Pacific Ringneck Snake is a secretive snake of moist habitats occurring in the foothill habitats of the western slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California although I have located several on the American River Parkway including one as far downriver as William Pond Recreation Area.  When alarmed, this snake will coil the underside of the tail exhibiting the bright red color.
