They're not as flashy or big or unique as some of the other getula subspecies. I still see them pretty frequently, usually as albinos or lavenders. They can be collected from quite a few states.
The babies are small and can be difficult to keep at their size. Breeders probably don't feel like breeding them in large quantities for this reason.
There are a lot more Cal kings than Florida kings being bred in captivity. It all comes down to demand. Both subspecies are popular, but Cal kings are usually a lot more striking and bold in appearance, making them more attractive in most people's eyes.
