Notes
This baby kingsnake appeared to be out of place. Almost of the kings from this area are brown and yellow, with wide bands (or yellow stripes). This one looked more like what you might see in Orange County, or perhaps even the Imperial Valley. It's possible that someone released this into the field, as there have been other non-local morphs captured around SD County in recent years. I collected this specimen and have been raising it at home
