One of my buddies was showing me a little cal king a while back and it latched onto me, trying to eat my finger. Little bugger would not let go! Took the 2 of us to get him off, since we didnt want to hurt him by just yanking. Didnt really hurt since it was a young'n, but it was funny.

I have seen cal kings in the 5 foot+ range, but seems like 3 1/2' - 4' feet is more normal, although I mostly see wild snakes, so maybe captives do hit larger sizes more regularly. My largest are around 42'' last time I checked.
