All kings require a fairly high humidity. where they would not survive is in non draining soils. Like swamps. Unless they went into dead or rotting trees, like scarlet kings.



They would survive in draining soils, like high pine, sandy soil areas which is common in fla.



I would be more inclined to agree with the absorbed theory. Either outcompeted by Fla kings, or genetically absorbed by them.



If you look at numbers, you could release fifty and that number would simply be absorbed, as the normal base population of kings is very high, So fifty into thousands.



If Cal kings could find "kingsnake habitat" that is void of kingsnakes, then they can go feral.
