Gopher snake I think?
I think it might be a Gopher Snake based off of the coloring and the pattern of the spots along its body.
Since he's a gopher snek, he's probably someone's PA, off to fetch a half-caf oat milk latte. And he's harmless. Also, he's native to California. Leave him be.

Edit for clarification. Don't trust any of these image recognition algorithms. They get many things wrong, but they can help narrow down what a thing is.
