At a glance
The tradeoffs, honestly
Bigger and stronger than a California kingsnake, it needs a larger enclosure and confident handling. It must live alone and can be defensive as a hatchling.
Common questions
How big does it get?
Most adults are 3.5 to 5 feet and heavier-bodied than western kingsnakes. Plan a 4×2×2 ft or larger enclosure for an adult.
Can it live with another snake?
No. Kingsnakes eat other snakes, including their own kind, so house every kingsnake on its own and feed it alone.
What should I ask for before buying?
Ask for a clear fecal and a negative crypto PCR, and a dated feeding log showing several meals on frozen-thawed mice. A hatch record with the parents and clutch date shows the snake is captive-bred.
