Hi Beverly, welcome to Project Noah! This is a great (and harmless!) snake that is fairly common throughout AZ. The one you have here is the Clarus morph, which lacks most of the red pigments that are found in longnose snakes found further east. Cool find! There is more info on the link I provided in my suggestion :)
