Look at the flippin' photograph. It IS a California kingsnake.



Pet snakes escape or are released all the time. We here in south Florida are blessed with breeding populations of a bunch of exotic lizards & a handful of exotic snakes. Most became established via the pet trade.



I have personally caught (via phone calls) many ball pythons, Burmese pythons & boa constrictors. I have seen a couple of exotic snakes dead on the road.
