What kind of king?

i believe it is a striped cali king snake...i saw one at the store today looked very similar

Yup, this is definitely a striped California Kingsnake. Does the stripe break at all, near the snake's tail? If not, this is rather rare. Great looking snake!

Pretty snake! Very pretty! I love that look. Very nice.

The striped morphs are endemic to San Diego County. It's not a mountain king.

The stripe doesnt break up at all on this snake. I saw a similar snake to this but its line breaks up in 2 or 3 places.

Beauty! Is it male or female? I have an almost exact female and would be interested in breeding next March. What state are you located? you can e-mail me @ fdrossos@hotmail.com
thanks

That is a "Newport" phase Calking.Thanks.

I refrain from my last prediction.That is definately a desert phase striped Calking.The white is very clean & the black is very dark.The coastal phase has off white & dark chocolate color(almost black).And the Newport phase is off-white and off-black as well w/aberrant patterns down the sides.I have a 50/50 coastal/desert phase banded Calking.She has narrow off-white bands.......not as bright as a D.P.but not as dingy as a C.P. either.She is also very dark chocolate upon inspection and not pure black like a D.P.But on the sides her narrow bands on top flare out down in a "v" or "a" pattern much like some desert phases(D.p.)do. :)

Your snake looks huge - how long is he? Our almost identical snake is 3.5 feet.

with out a doubt a brown striped cali king
