Apparently bull and gopher are related but not exactly the same. This one was found in my front yard in Santa Barbara.

they are different species in the same genus, bullsnakes are bullsnakes there are no bullsnake subspecies. Gophers do have subspecies

Here in CO they are commonly called bullsnakes but are actually gopher snakes. I understand the confusion.
