In nature, king snakes can be a variety of colors, such as the all-black Mexican king snake and the black-and-white striped/banded king snake commonly found in america. In captivity, there are many more colors not found in nature. One variation, the Albino kingsnake, is very rare in the wild because a) the genetic combination necessary for this coloring is rare by itself and b) albino kingsnakes have poor vision and cannot camoflouge very well and are, therefore, killed by predators faster than the average kingsnake. The albino kingsnake is very common as a pet because of its beautiful coloring. I, myself, have an albino kingsnake, and they truly are beautiful!

∙ 15y agothere is a theory that if an animal is multicoloured they should be able to see in those colours, i guess this would be a survival thing i.e camoflage, so i should expect there is a degree of coulour vision

∙ 14y agoThey use infrared vision, which means they see the radiation in wavelengths which come off objects. Mostly those that are warm-blooded.
Thus when a rattlesnake strikes, it is following the 'heat waves' coming off you and not the actual movement.

Do California king snakes have teeth?
Yes, California King snakes have teeth. They do not have fangs, which are found in venomous snakes. Fangs are hollow, needle-like teeth that are used to inject venom into prey. The teeth of a King snake are very tiny and hard to see. The teeth are similar to a serrated knife and are angled back to maintain a grip on the prey while the snake is constricting it. On a personal note, my California king snake- Cassidy- bit my finger tonight and it bled. I can even see the little teeth marks on my finger.
