Thank, man. No, I just photographed it and released it. The laws are pretty strict here in CA. You can legally keep up to 4 wild caught Cal kings as long as you buy a fishing license every year. Its illegal to sale native reptiles, but several years ago they started allowing people to buy a permit to breed and sale only 3 species of snakes native to CA. Those are Rosy boas, Cal kings, and Gopher snakes. When you buy a snake from those breeders, you get a permit number with your snake and you can keep it legally without a fishing license. There's no limits on those snakes and albino's have always been legal to sale in CA.

Back when I was 15 years old I really wanted a Cal king after reading about them in a book but back then you couldn't buy them in CA anywhere and I didn't know how to find them. About a year later we went on vacation to Tucson AZ and I discovered they sold Cal kings in the pet shops down there. I begged my mom to buy me one and brought it back home to CA. lol
