i cant quite tell what those snakes in the first pic are...and i have no clue what that brown snake in the last pic is

That last one is a rubber boa, it's an AMAZING find. Congrats. They are very hard to find. You should be stoked.

Super cool finds!!!

I thought that looked like a rubber boa, a pretty big one at that. I found one about ten years ago up in the Sierra's. I had it in a terratium at home and it was feeding on new born pinky mice. About a month in it dissapeared. The thing was tiny, almost like a really big earth worm. needless to say I was really bummed.

The snakes in the first few pics are gopher snakes, right?

Must be nice, to have that kind of area right outside your door.

What is the lizard in the second to last pic? I absolutely love its color!

[JohnMatthew]

I didn't keep anything. Thought about keeping that alligator lizard, but refrained.
For most reptiles in CA you're required to have a fishing license to "legally" capture and keep reptiles. The bag limit on most species is 2. Though some such as Western Fence lizards the bag limit is 25.
