Representative California Kingsnakephoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
The classic high-contrast black/brown and white/cream banded pattern found across much of the species' range. Hardy, bold-feeding and the foundation of the trade.
Keeper tips for this variant
House kingsnakes singly; this species is a known ophiophage (snake-eater) and will cannibalize cagemates, so never cohabit them.
