Year of the Snake - No. 2 California Kingsnake (Juvenile)



On April 2, I found this juvenile California Kingsnake on a rocky cliff area near the creek. The afternoon was warm and the snake was out in the open. Based on tail length, I am guessing it is a male. (Males have longer tails.) He measures 12 inches long.

A beautiful specimen of Lampropeltis getula.
