California King Snakes are not poisonous. They do eat rodents, they kill their prey by constricting them and swallowing them. They are not venomous and not a danger to humans. The king in their name comes from their tendency to hunt and kill other snakes. In fact they hunt down and control the population of rattle snakes.
