california: I found a California king snake in my front yard and i have know idea how to take care of it or how to feed it.|||Hi! my brother has a california king snake...its like 14 years old! like most snakes they don't require too much maintenance... you have to clean the cage when its gets messy... change the water...and you feed it depending on how big you want it to get. If you want a large snake feed it every week, if not then feed it every other week. What you feed it also depends on its size... if its not too big you feed it pinkys(baby mice) if its a little older than u feed it regular mice. goodluck!|||I would write it out for you but her you go some care sheets for you help these help http://lllreptile.com/info/library/animal-care-sheets/snakes/-/california-king-snake/ http://www.repticzone.com/caresheets/36.html http://www.vmsherp.com/CarePages/CareCalKing.htm http://whozoo.org/Intro2000/vansibor/VanSib_CaliforniaKingsnake. these are relativity docile snakes and are great pets Ive never owned one my self but i do own snakes, I'm more into the bigger guy's like red tail boas carpet pythons and my favorite the albino Burmese python...but i cant say this enough read read read read memorize and know what your doing there easy to care for just have to know how to do so..but have fun and i hop you will enjoy them as i do...|||http://www.vmsherp.com/CarePages/CareCal鈥?/a> http://www.repticzone.com/caresheets/36.鈥?/a> try these sites. especially the first one. they helped me a lot with mine.
