Can someone tell me what this is?

Sorry if I posted in the wrong area, just looking to get an ID on this snake.

That is a California kingsnake. :snake:

California Kingsnake

I was thinking something like that. My cousins friend is trying to get rid of it and keeps saying it's a "tree snake." I knew it definitely wasn't a tree snake but wasn't 100% sure as I'm only seasoned in BPs lol

Cali Kings are fun. Usually inexpensive, easy to keep, eat anything, etc.

While not an arboreal species, they do climb; when one of mine escaped I found her hanging from a light switch.

I read somewhere that they have been known to try and eat themselves? Lol

I have heard about that as well, but from what I heard its usually a rare occurrence
they are also cannibalistic

Yeahhhhh. I read that too.
Thinking of maybe setting up some QT for this guy and taking him in as a pet but I'm not sure. The more I hear about its current husbandry, the more I want to of course. They apparently microwave frozen thawed mice...

Do eeet!! They are awesome snakes. I have one and can't say enough about their awesomeness. Mine likes to attempt eating me sometimes when he's super hungry. :)


Microwaved mice... :twitch:
