California King Snake

What can anyone tell me about a Mosiac Cali King Snake? I saw one and i love the looks of her. Guy on Craigslist is getting rid or 14 king snakes...mostly albinos and Mosiacs.

Their Kings, nothing special apart from any other Kings (Goinis, Floridas, Black Mexicans, etc.) they all pretty much follow the same requirements. They can be in a 20gl long as an adult (juvies in a 10gl), keep one side of the tank at a steady 80-85 and the other side at about 75. You can use either an infared heat lamp (100w) or a UTH. All my Kings temperments are very agressive but Kings are normally docile, i just got the bad ones lol. And Kings are excellent eaters, mine have never refused a meal.

Mosaics have a wicked cool pattern though, i want to add one to my collection someday. Please post up some pics if you get it!

Thank you...she is really pretty and the person has 14 babies with a few mosiac being amoung them. He only wants 30.00 for her...there is also a few albino too. Still shopping and thinking. Our space is limited for anymore new additions. We do have a baby ball python and 3 bearded dragons! I'm doing my best to convince hubby we need another "baby".

I have a hypo mosaic female and she's wonderful! She's active, inquisitive, and a great feeder. I'd never paid much attention to Kings before Selena, but now they're my favorite. If you can convince your husband, you should get her! Kings aren't as laid back as BPs, but it's fun to watch them explore their terrariums and they're still tame enough to handle easily.

I would jump on that. With regular handling he/she will tame down and care if just about the same for almost all Kings. My juvenille, Gobbles, is a great pet snake.
