King Snake - California: Blizzard
The California Kingsnake (Lampropeltis californiae) is a stunning and hardy species popular among reptile enthusiasts for its striking black and white banded or striped patterns and manageable care requirements. Native to the western United States and northern Mexico, it thrives in a wide range of habitats, from deserts to woodlands.
Known for its curious nature and occasional feisty attitude when young, California Kingsnakes generally become calm with regular handling. They are terrestrial constrictors and have a fascinating reputation for preying on other snakes, including venomous species, thanks to their natural immunity to some venoms.
California Kingsnakes can live up to 20 years in captivity and typically grow to lengths of 3 to 5 feet. With proper heating, secure enclosures, and a simple diet of appropriately sized rodents, they make an excellent addition to any snake keeper’s collection.
