But I know of nearly a dozen regal specimens in captivity at or over 3' in length. And the record is 42".

Someone(blanking on the name) reported a similar situation like your cali king/ringneck incident. It was a southern black racer eating a southern ringneck snake tail first. The ringneck snake was swallowed but bit down on the side of the racer's mouth. The racer died like some 18 hours later, and the ringneck just crawled away.
