Trimorphodon (Lyre Snake) Baby in Red Rock Canyon - Las Vegas, NV area

We found this little snake while hiking and climbing the mountains in Red Rock Canyon. We're no snake experts so at first we had no idea what it was but after a little research we discovered it was a baby Trimorphodon aka Lyre snake.
