75.107.4.222It looks more like a gopher snake which are more similar to rattlesnakes. When I was a toddler I went up and touched one and my mom nearly had a heart attack because she thought it was a rattle snake. Gopher snakes get a lot larger than garter snakes 
this is a garter snake
common western variety
santa cruz variety
san francisco variety
Here is one of my friend's resident bull snakes, they are quite large and sometimes slither right between your feet when you are standing around talking. They call her "Saint"

Only once I saw an enormous gopher snake slithering down a squirrel hole (here at this place). .. I was astounded at how big around it was! .. I was hoping it had graduated from gophers to ground squirrels. - Crap that gave me the creepies!
