Really beautiful unknown snake. Approx 4-5'. Is it a corn or a garter?

It's not a garter or a corn. But I don't know what. There is a forum "what kind of snake is this?" you should check with the people there if nobody knows here.

Looks like it might be a Red Whipsnake (Masticophis flagellum piceus)which is native to SoCal. I agree w/ Jmolden87, you check the forum, you'll probably get a better answer.

It is definatly a red coachwhip I own a baby one and that thing can put up a bluff. Back in my dads day when he caught those for pets they called them red racers because of their speed. The first time my dad caught one he was chasing it on a trip in arizona and it turned on him and hissed and started chasing him. Till he realized what am i afraid of this snake and he turned around and picked it up.
