I also wanted to say that while he is absolutely not above striking at me when hungry, if he's been fed enough even remotely recently - and that includes feeding day - he's an absolutely docile, chill snake.
I know Cal-Kings have a rep for being pretty nasty, but he's just not. He's active and more inclined to explore than my BP, but he's no more inclined to strike for the heck of it and has never been. Not sure what happened there, and I'm not sure I car.e He really is a cool guy.
