We took on this snake as the previous owner didn't want it and wasn't taking care of it. I think it is a California Kingsnake but am not 100% sure. Is there anyone out there that can tell me what it is and what I need to take care of this little guy. Thanks.

sorry bud, i dont know which one is and i had 2 ball pythons before....
i had them on an huge aquarium, some bedding, a hiding place-log, a basking light and make sure it is in an closed enclosure. i fed mine mice and crickets...but at one point they grew way too much and I gave them to a friend.. who later released it in the wild...another bad idea...

I've never kept smaller snakes like that, but here are some good caresheets to look over:

Feeding a snake crickets.... Aww com'on man thats just wrong. This is why i suggest doing research before buying or getting any animal.

The links posted above should telll you everything you need to know. And good luck with the new guy/ girl.

Thanks for all your help. We have a spare 35 gal tank our turt use to be in. She's in a 55 gal tank now so we are going to put this little fella in the 35. Got everything for it except the heat source going to get that tomorrow. We gave her/him a couple of pinkies the other day, she was starving. Can't believe how fast they can strike, it was pretty cool. She seems very friendly I take her out to handle her a few minutes everyday. Keep you posted.
