The accepted common name is the Rough Earth Snake (Virginia striatula). Had to search alittle to find a picture that resembles this one.

The only true Ground snake (Sonora semiannulata) is endemic to Arizona.

I've always thought the misnomer "ground rattler" was funny, because I've never seen a rattler anywhere but the ground.
