I should clarify that the banding was much thinner (dorsally) and also mention that it was much more cream/yellow than what I consider a typical California King. Thanks in advance for your help folks!

P.S. Regardless of what it was, it was an absolute treat to catch and was extremely laid back for a wild caught snake. As you can see, it took very little time to draw a crowd,(eventually about 30 people) so I used the opportunity to offer a short (5 minute) "seminar" on King snakes. My audience was quite reseptive and appreciative. I then found a zoo attendant to give the snake to, who assured me they would release it away from any high traffic areas.
