We live in Escondido, California. I found this in our backyard last night and am curious as to what type of snake it is.

I do not feel this is a venomous snake but I'm not sure anyone has correctly identified your snake.
Here are some photos of black king snakes - please wait a few moments for an individual photo to appear. www.google.com/

That snake's head shape is very unusual, and more similar to vine snakes of the jungle, some of which are poisonous...than to garter snakes....I would be very careful of it, for sure !
That is probably a gopher snake. The only other possibility is a night snake. Both are non venomous. It is not a garter or king
It could be a gopher snake, which is not dangerous to humans
Thank you.
I did not feel that it was harmful. It did not coil up or try to strike.

Looks like a garter snakes, a harmless snake.

Rat snake. We had one in our lanai. Despite efforts to get it out of the lanai alive, and identified, it was crushed by furniture that had to be moved. :( When it died its mouth was wide open and there were no fangs.
