The california (or californian) king snake (Lampropeltis getula californiae) is one of the most common and widely
available king snakes and adheres to the basic pattern of a dark snake with white or cream stripes around it's body.
The albino color form will also sometimes be encountered in the trade - a pink background with cream stripes - quite stunning.
The california king snake should be kept as per all other king snakes.
In the wild california king snakes will eat just about anything - from frogs and lizards to mice and even other snakes
and so catering for them in captivity is very easy indeed.
