Is this a Cali king snake, first time I run into one... I was out yote hunting and saw it crossing the dirt road... Took a quick pic and it went into the brush.

 

[sherpa]

Also I'm no expert but I think that's a desert king snake where are u hunting. The second picture of mine is a California king. Your bands look smaller and arnt as bright.

 

[Sdbirds]

Cali kings also come if bands and lines I'm looking for another pict

I was really close I pissed him off for a while to get a good picture. I use to catch them or kill them when I was young and dumb no I just piss them off or leave them alone. I still like to watch them buzz

If I had to bet I would say that's a desert Kingsnake not a California King snake.

Again I am not an expert but that's my opinion. I'd like somebody that knows what they're talking about to tell us. My buddies at herpetologist I'll show him the picture

I think the c
Ca King Snake is the same even if it is in the Desert.

 

[Sdbirds]

Agreed I ca night one way back at night but looking at the pict it's different. Have u seen the ones with a broking single like its not a racer

 

[Snake Charmer]

Southerland that one I found a few in near also and vejas I caught 5 this year lots of baby's I found a monster one two seasons ago off the 8. Also find them I jumcammba and Boulevard. And ya I never keep them not enough

 

[Snake Charmer]

Hmm, maybe they're making a come back..

 

[Sdbirds]

Hmm, maybe they're making a come back..

I'd like to think so but I do go farther then most and that's where I find them. To many people keep them that's why I leave them be

 

[Sdbirds]

Baby

 

[NBK]

Wow...used to see them all of the time. Nice to know they are continuing to procreate! Thanks for the photos Johnny!

Almost totally black head, definitely a desert king. Hey Johnny is the ring neck dead or just playing. Don't see ring necks too much anymore either. mostly a night snake.

I saw a couple of horny toads two weeks ago on Palomar. So it seems they are across the county which is nice to know.
