They're not considered endangered species in CA. Here in this state there are only 3 CA native snakes that are able to be kept and bred for the pet trade (w/ a license from the DFG @ $48). Cal Kings any Gopher ssp (not sure about P.c. pumilis) and Rosies. This is despite the fact that several other "pet ready" Cal natives (Glossies, Shovelnose or Longnoses) APPEAR to occur w/ the same or greater frequency as those 3. Very interesting post topic. I'm hoping to see a Patchnose this year.
