California Kingsnake photos

Male '01. Came out of brumation a couple weeks ago....looking good and looking for a lady friend! Just around 4 feet long and a total gentlemen!

Female '03, about to go into shed but normally she is a beautiful black and white. Right at two feet and quite enraged that we took her out in blue, but normally she will only crap on us nowadays.

Female '03 just shed recently. Not a huge fan of yellows/browns but I love her spot pattern and she is getting pretty easy to handle. Just around 2 feet.

Gorgeous trio Marisa - I love the last female - sort of like Morse code with all those dots and dashes! The male has retained such clear white bands - very nice.

I do agree - Cal Kings are great snakes - just because they are common doesn't mean they aren't fantastic.

Thanks guys. I am a very big fan of a desert phase Cal kings. Something about that jet black and white.

The first kingsnake I ever caught was a California Mountain king so you'd think I'd be fond of those guys but the black and white gets me. I am going to pick up a female hopefully just like the male as well.

You can get kings much cheaper than that YCM. Look around for breeders. I would only pay that much if it was an adult.

I'm seriously thinking about getting some more kings, especially some beauties like above.
