 Posted: Thu May 15, 2008 3:16 am Post subject: New Cali King! |
 |
Well Today Was A Crazy Day.....I Was Sleeping When My Mother Wakes Me Up And Tells Me "David The Neighbors Found A Snake And They Are going to Kill It! Wake Up!" So I Wake Up And Rush out The Door! (Forgot To Put My Contacts In My Eyes So Im As Blind As A Bat!)
When I Go To Their House I Find Them Looking At it And Saying "Its A Rattler! Take The Shovel To Its Head!" Then Im thinking To My Self "Oh Man Look What I got Into" So I Walk Over And Look At The So Called "Rattler"...... And To My surprise Its A Cali King Rattling its tail In Fear.
So I Just Picked up The King And They All Looked At Me And Screamed "Your Crazy! Put It Down!".... I Simply Walked Away With The King In My Hand.....Of course Musk All Over It Now And Took It Home.
I Handled Him/her For About A Hour And Not once Did he Tag Me.....I Have A Special Place For king Snakes In My Heart.....I Know I Shouldn't Have but I Did, I Set up A Tank And Called Him my Own....Its Completely Legal To Keep Wild Caught Cali Kings In My Area But You Are Limited To One Per Day And You Must Have A Fishing Licence( I Always Buy One But Never Go Fishing Anymore).
Will Post Pics Tomorrow......All FeedBack Will Be Accepted Negative Or Positive.

I hope it survives.  Might be best if you let it go immediately so that it can seek whatever it needs to heal? Holding it in a tank it may want to be alone and the stress would keep it from healing quickly perhaps?
They aren't that expensive, you could buy a CB one that is already used to being caged, perhaps may be a better idea?
Whatever you decide to do, good luck!

Thanks for the warning! 
Nice patterning on that snake!
My corn has "rattled" (saw the tail), but it hasn't musked me yet. 
p.s They mistook THIS snake for a rattler??
