Wild Cal King (Pic)

I found this one while road hunting in Los Gatos last week.
We also found one that was recently run over - it had a
rattlesnake in its stomach.

The banded Cal Kings like that one are my favorites - despite all the custom morphs out there on the market. I've got three of them (also WC, all males) - and I just love 'em.

0.1 CB L. pyromelana pyromelana
0.1 WC Elgaria multicarinata multicarinata (gravid)

Sweet! I've found a few nice banded Cal kings while field herping on foot this spring.

Yes, kings of any type are always an exciting find. There's something about finding a "classic" American snake that's very rewarding. I found this one in 2005:

Always kind of neat to see them in their regular haunts.
