Daley Ranch

I saw an orangy rattle snake with black and white stripes right before its rattles. What kind is it?

I was at Daley Ranch in Escondido California. The snake was very big for a rattle snake in my opinion. The black stripes were in the area right before his/her rattles. There was about 4 or 5 inches of black and white stripes.I’ve never seen or heard of a snake like this and I want to know about it.

This little fella??? I hope you left him alone. As menacing as they are, they’re still living things and should be respected.
