That Chocolate colored King is one of the most beautiful snakes I've ever seen. They make such great pets and are so beneficial to have around. My fav reptile, bar none.

Yeah, I had a California King when I was a young lad and it was an awesome snake. They didn't have any odor like some of the water snakes I kept as pets, and they were just fascinating to watch. Mine got loose one day in my father's 15,000 square foot home. No more rodents for a great time to come....about 7-8 years later the skeletal remains of this snake were found.

The kingsnakes make the best pets. Another snake that is very docile is the blotched water snake...had a few of them.
