Oh, I would love to have him if I thought he could survive the  journey!
Closest I've come out here is a couple of Pennysaver ads for gopher snakes  
(not as pretty), but I've always responded too late.
There is a snake here that is peculiar just to this area, and is  
mauve-colored, to match the Calico Mountains. I dismissed it as myth until 
the  other day 
when I was barreling down Silver Valley Road (the paved section) in my  usual 
fashion just as a lovely, light-lilac snake was crossing the road to  my left.
He/she realized I was bearing down on him, and made a perfect  reverse 'S', 
and headed back into the scrub brush.
If he hadn't, I would've felt terrible.

I just  found and caught the most beautiful red rat snake/corn snake.  Do 
you  think I could sell him?  He's about 3 feet long, sub adult, I  
suppose.  I hear they make great pets, and if I were to have a rat  snake 
as a pet, this beauty would be the one, but I'm not up for snakes as  
pets.  He is awesome looking...almost like the picture on the Wiki  page.
