California Kingsnake

MEET RYDER

The California Kingsnake is a strikingly beautiful snake, easily recognized by its bold black and white or black and cream banding. Native to the southwestern United States, including California, it can be found in a variety of habitats, from dry deserts to grassy plains and even woodland areas. Typically growing up to 4 feet long, this non-venomous snake is a constrictor, using its muscular body to subdue prey such as small mammals, birds, and even other snakes, including venomous rattlesnakes. Known for its calm and docile nature, it is primarily active during the day, hunting for food or exploring its environment.
