>>1555729It's a grey rat snake. Difficult to tell colubrids apart at times, but kings have more of a square head.
I used to breed kings and corns (among other herps).
>>1555983Depends on the state.
Even in California you can take 2 of each species a year with a fishing permit, including kings or rosy boas.
Also depending on state, it might be illegal to kill ANY non-venomous species.
I pulled a rat snake out of a friend's mom's chicken coop yesterday. Dropped it off outside of town at an abandoned business park.
Had to go over again at 7 this morning because she had a timber in her yard (pic related).
Finishing up skinning it now. It was a rabbit if anybody is curious.
