Your Questions Answered
What is the typical adult size and coloration?
California kingsnakes typically reach 3-4 feet as adults. The "Extreme High White" pattern is genetic and will be maintained as the snake grows, with the white bands remaining prominent against the black background.
What are the basic care requirements?
Provide a secure enclosure with a thermal gradient (75-85°F warm side), a humid hide, and fresh water. Juveniles thrive in a 10-20 gallon tank, requiring an upgrade as they grow. They are primarily terrestrial but will occasionally climb.
