California Mountain Kingsnake: Snakey Panorama!

9 pictures above as insets, all the older images are clickable to see a larger size! ENJOY!!

Isn't he AMAZING?!! Snakey enjoys moving all around his environment and has a cave to hide in, a pool of water, a large rock and several branches to climb on. We enjoy his company every day and he is very healthy and eats well!

There are about 45 species of Kingsnakes, which also include Milksnakes. They come in a large number of colors from solid black to almost white, with a dizzying variety of patterns. In fact, some species, such as this one, mimic the highly venomous coral snake, which only lives in the southern States. (NEVER approach a snake unless you are SURE it's harmless!) Kingsnakes are among the most popular pet snakes due to their docile, friendly dispositions and ease of care. In the wild, they are secretive, usually moving about during the day, and eat rodents, reptiles and birds.
