Its'a the strongest constrictor by psi in the world.. I have 1 myself. I give him f/t his coils are so perfect and not sloppy like with a cornsnake for example. They literally constrict snakes in the wild. So yeah do some research..
Also I don't understand who's afraid off snakes. I have anxiety disorders, and my snake calms me. I don't like cats and dogs so much. But snakes I love them. Well I love every reptile.

Love the new intro!

[@TheMachoVato]

Cool video

[@House_gaming2]

Crazy fr 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@danszymanski1633]

Clay: These kingsnakes aren't constrictors
My kingsnake at home: B!?&% I'm the strongest constrictor in the world!!!
Me: Clay, Constrictors are snakes who kill they're prey by constriction NOT a family of snakes

[@mariaguns8790]

Same with mine. Mine also said bia*ch I'm the strongest by psi so come on..

[@brettphillips9147]

I have a Banana king snake he's awesome. Always so active and such a badass feeding response. A little bitey though sometimes 😂

[@thr0w407]

My cali king is two years old and nowhere near that size. Awesome snake!

[@Kvs-vf9nt]

Mine is also smaller. He's 3ft7 or 112 cm.. Born June 29 2020. Have him since August 24 2020. My profile pic is an older foto. But he's great men. I really love my snake. He's family.❤🐍👍

My king cal king snake is 27 years old have been feeding mice been off food for a month what you suggest

[@damonlafargo633]

I love the video just a couple of things: a California king snake was recently caught and photographed that measured over eight feet (search UA-cam for "huge California king snake"), colubrid snakes are generally venomous, just not to people (unless anaphylaxis), California king snakes pound for pound are the most powerful constrictors on the planet.

[@taymoormirzadi2982]

Dude said it’s not a constrictor 🤦‍♂️. Do your research before making a video man

[@thr0w407]

I incorrectly corrected you, lol. You're right, very powerful constrictors. Can't believe the guy said it's not.

[@Kvs-vf9nt]

I have one a male aberrant California Kingsnake that's 2y4months.They're powerfull constrictors. So you're incorrect. Pound for pound they're stronger than boa's and pythons.

[@misslocdnloaded]

I just got a 2 month old she's EXTREMELY strong. Glad she wasn't my first snake because it's intimidating

[@Kvs-vf9nt]

@@misslocdnloaded I have mine since August 24 2020 and he was born with the breeder June 29 2020. He never strikes at me. He's not headshy anymore too. Never musked me. Eats like a pig. Explores everything. He's very curious but indeed when he holds himself around my arm you can really feel there strength. Or when he wraps around a mouse (f/t!). Damn if a Cal king was the size off an anaconda it would be 3 times as strong. Can you imagine that...

[@spiritconjure2996]

Snakes are related to the mosasaurus for those of you who are reading this comment and interested in paleontology

[@mikestapley8803]

So few facts in this video. Most obviously, Kingsnakes are absolutely constrictors. Constrictor is not a family of snakes, as alluded to in your four "types".

[@veramann]

The snake churches should use a kingsnake instead of a rattlesnake since it's not venomous. People need to stop doing stupid things.
