Different Question. I need to know about a yellow snake that has black diamonds or circles on its back and a white stomach. We are located in san diego.

1st question: no, california kingsnakes are colubrids (constrictors) and do NOT have fangs. They DO have teeth and can bite, but are not venomous. 2nd question: That could be a number of different snakes. Could be a gopher snake, hognose, rattlesnake, sidewider, among others. More information (size, head shape, behavior, etc) would help.

California King snakes don`t have fangs and are even kept as pets! This snake is also very small. One of my friends has one.

king snakes do not have a venom delivery system , hence they do not have fangs.

no california king snakes do not have fangs because they are not poisonous but they do have little teeth that will barely even penetrate any skin at all.

no they dont have fangs but they do have very small teeth to pull in their food. they are not venomous which means they have to strangle their food to death.
