My camera shoots fascists
[edit: looks like California red sided garter snake https://californiaherps.com/snakes/pages/t.s.infernalis.html ]
I don't recall ever seeing one of these cuties here before. Anyone know the name? NorCal coastal mountains.

It's definitely a common garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis. Which subspecies (California red sided is T. sirtalis subspecies, infernalis) is harder to say, because they vary quite a bit in color and pattern even within the subspecies.
