Hi Gerard,
Your confusing "tropical" species, with other non tropical species. Cal kings are NOT tropical and therefore would not be restricted to South Fla.
Has I stated, They most likely cannot out compete a kingsnake of the same species that is locality adapted, such as fla kings.
They would have to be in kingsnake habitat(getula) that was not currently occupied.
What your not considering is, Both are getula, thus both have similar requirements. In captivity, the EXACT same husbandry works for both fla kings and cal kings.
High pine is a FLA habitat, as well as other draining soils, which is what kingsnakes use. Cal kings would not be resticted to South fla. Cal kings occur regularly where it deep freezes.
