The California king snake is not a protected species, but an exotic species.

The main feature of the California king snake is that it is non-venomous but mainly feeds on other snakes. Of course, other small mammals such as birds, lizards and mice are also in the range of food. They all suffocate their prey to death by entangling the snake before swallowing it.

Although the California King Snake is a gentle snake, if it is exposed to life It also hisses and counterattacks when threatened, and sometimes rolls into a sphere and sprays its feces at enemies. As long as the snake is not caught with excessive force, it rarely bites.
