EEWWWWW! Will make me look carefully before I open my pump basket!
I have little kiddies.. imagine if they had saw that swimming amongst them when it decided to drop in. lol.
Looks like a "racer". Google "snake identification in California" and you will find site that will walk you through the identification process. Depends on where you are. As long as it doesn't have a rattle . . . We killed every snake we encountered until we figured out which ones were dangerous and which were beneficial.

King snakes aren't venomous, and eat other snakes ( including venomous ones), as well as rats and other vermin.
