Just found this guy cruising around the yard and decided to snap a few.

[exwizard]

Very nice! How did you luck out like that?

[RandyRhoads]

Looked black untill the light hit it.....Brown...

[youngster]

Nice, big one too.

They are everywhere around here.

[exwizard]

Must be a SoCal thing cuz I never saw any in Tracy

[RandyRhoads]

I'm not in SoCal. Tracy is not far from here... I don't see why they wouldn't be there.

Ok now I got it. Youre just west of Rio Vista. Thats the first time I made that connection with those hills and I lived in California most of my life?? wow! No I never saw any Cal Kings in Tracy

I sure do. Google earth me, maybe you can see my burm from space...haha...

[exwizard]

Ive always just known those hills as the low lying rolling hills on Hwy 12. Original huh? :p

[RandyRhoads]

That's funny. Yeah right out between Suisun and Rio. My fire district covers 12 that span of 12, not a good highway!!

I guess not! Also real bad for head ons as well. Ive seen some bad ones there.

[alessia55]

Wow that's awesome! Lucky you!! I'd love to see a wild cali king like that :D

[exwizard]

Yeah lucky him. ;)

[Trollbie]

All my coworkers keep telling me how they saw all the snakes on their daily walks, and I don't see one even if I'm looking for it :(

[Kingsnakechris]

my male cal. king is pretty much identical to that guy.. mine may be thicker though.

[Caylan]

I have the same problem...

[jhiggy69]

yeah idrive every day on a stretch of i-680 between cordelia & benicia & i have seen more cal - kings in that ten mile stretch than anywhere in else my life

[exwizard]

I know that area as well. Funny thing is, when I was in Tracy, the only wild snake I ever saw was a Garter, and a little one at that.

[RandyRhoads]

It's sad how many end up flattened on the road.

[*Don't Mind Me*]

Nice shots RhandyRoads! I once saw a hawk, on the ground 10ft away from me, standing on the ground pecking at the cali king it had just caught, but after I backed off to let nature take its course it flew off leaving the crippled snake to slither off into the brush. Too bad I didn't have a camera on me at the time.

Next time I drive to Sac, I'm pulling over for a bit and going fieldherping right there.

[jhiggy69]

this time of year they are on the east side of the freeway crossing to the west side until mid summer then you dont see to many til about late sept.....then they start crossing back to theast side of the free way. late oct. it gets so bad that i start going out of my way to drive back and forth on the freeway at dask trying to get them before they get smashed and drop them off on the other side (kinda goofy thing to do with my spare time )

i have two kings at home that got only a tiny bit of the tails flattened "FREEWAY" actually made it accross 5 of the six lanes before he got run over (i almost caused a pile up stopping to grab him .and "SKID-MARK " got it before he even got on the asphalt (some ******* in front of me swerved all the way onto the gravel shoulder to smash him but mostly missed )they are both great pets just a little ****ed up looking in the tail areas
