It’s been an amazing year for kingsnakes so far with a total of 5 very distinct morphs! Even though it’s summer, I’d say spring season is on! With the predicted weather here, the season will most likely be much longer than it was last year, extending well into summer.

Adult California kingsnake (Lampropeltis getula Californiae) found stretched along the edge of a boulder. All I was were the bands moving along the edge before i grabbed it. A major portion of California kingsnake diet, in contrast to the San Diego gopher snake which I also caught today (previous post), consists of reptiles. They are known for eating other snakes, including venomous ones, hence the name “kingsnake”. They are opportunistic feeders however, and will also eat rodents, eggs, and birds. The Cali king is a very fascinating snake! • • • • • #kingsnake #snake #reptile #banded #herping #herps #californiaherps #californiasnake #caliherping #ocherps #californiaanimals #animal #crystalcove #cutesnake #snakes #herp #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram #adultsnake #adultreptiles #adultsnakes #herpingcalifornia #coolherps #coolherp #coolreptiles #coolreptile #coolsnakes #coolsnake #snakesarecool #reptilesarecool

I feel like this photo has a nice landscape behind it so I’ll post it despite the kingsnake being an in-shed juvenile. • • • • • #kingsnake #snake #reptile #banded #herping #herps #californiaherps #californiasnake #caliherping #ocherps #californiaanimals #animal #neonate #juvinille #cutesnake #cutesnakes #snakes #herp #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram #coolherp #coolherps #coolsnake #coolsnakes #coolreptiles #coolreptile

An unusually lightly colored California kingsnake (Lampropeltis getula Californiae) I found today. This was a really cool find for me! • • • • • #kingsnake #snake #reptile #banded #herping #herps #californiaherps #californiasnake #caliherping #ocherps #californiaanimals #animal #crystalcove #cutesnake #snakes #herp #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram #adultsnake #adultreptiles #adultsnakes #herpingcalifornia #hypomelanistic

I don’t know why, but I really love gopher snakes more than pretty much any other common snake in my area. I feel like are really underrated by SoCal herpers. Here is a chunky adult San Diego gopher snake (Pittuophis cantenifer annectens) found today. • • • • • #pittuophis #pittuophiscantenifer #snake #gophersnake #sandiegogophersnake #cutesnake #reptile #banded #herping #herps #californiaherps #californiasnake #caliherping #ocherps #californiaanimals #animal #cutesnake #cutesnakes #snakes #herp #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram #bigsnake #bigsnakes #chunkysnake
