Should it be Bull Snake or Bull snake or even Bullsnake?
Shouldn't this article be condensed with Gopher Snake? I am pretty sure it is the same species. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.112.144.162 (talk) 07:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Imitate the rattler[edit]
When I lived in Washington State these were common. They would attempt to imitate the rattlesnake when annoyed. They will coil, hiss (sounding something like a rattle) and strike at an opponent. They also have coloration resembling the rattler, which is also common to the area (but not the settled areas). Mice are also part of their diet. Jokem (talk) 15:36, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Not in California[edit]
The article states they are found in California. That is not the case, except maybe for escaped pets. We have Pacific Gophers, Great Basin Gophers, San Diego Gophers, Sonoran Gophers, Santa Cruz Island Gophers, but we do not have the Bull Snake.
I will not edit the article because someone who is familiar with the species should do so, as there may be other errors in the range. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FunkyRes (talk • contribs) 12:54, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Note - the photo of a "Bull Snake in California", originally from flicker, seems to be from the SFBA and is a Pacific Gopher Snake (from wild cat canyon) and is identified as a gopher snake at http://www.flickr.com/photos/37996593020@N01/12013862/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by FunkyRes (talk • contribs) 18:55, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
