The California king snake is not venomous. The main feature of the California king snake is that it is non-venomous but mainly feeds on other snakes. California king snakes are relatively easy to raise snakes and are very suitable for novice owners. Generally speaking, they have a docile personality and do not attack people. However, when they are in danger, they will bite people, curl up, and spray acid water to protect themselves.

How to raise California king snakes:

1. Living environment. First of all, you need to prepare a place for them to live. Generally speaking, a pet pet box is better. You can also make a simple snake box yourself. California king snakes are not so harsh on the breeding environment. When raising California king snakes as pets, you usually start raising them from young snakes. The body length of young snakes is not very large, about 20 to 25 centimeters. Therefore, the pet box you choose can be smaller, with a size of 40 to 50 centimeters. When they grow up, move to a larger pet box. Usually the box is more comfortable if it is longer than the snake's body length. The pet box should be well sealed to prevent the snake from escaping.

2. Temperature. Use a heating pad to create a temperature gradient. Place a heating pad at one end of the bottom of the box, and use a thermostat to control the temperature between 30 and 35°C. The other end is kept at 20 and 25°C. Of course, some climbing friends may not be happy to do this, and may use an air conditioner. If the room or box is relatively small, it is recommended to maintain the temperature between 28 and 30°C, so that it is neither too hot nor too cold.

3. Humidity. Temperature and humidity are the key points for raising California king snakes. A thermohygrometer is also indispensable for raising reptiles. The suitable humidity for raising California king snakes is 40% to 60%. When the humidity does not meet the requirements, you need to spray water. You can also use a large-diameter water basin and place the water basin above the heating pad (pay attention to prevent leakage of the heating pad) to increase the humidity.

4. Food. Suckling rats are used to feed the young, and mice are used to feed the adults. Feed once a week, one at a time. Frozen mice should be thawed at room temperature before feeding. In addition, regarding the size of the feed, it is usually better not to exceed the size of the king snake's head. Although the hinge deconstruction of the snake's mouth allows them to swallow prey many times larger than the head, considering the smooth digestion, it is recommended not to feed the king snake's head.
