Often times a King snake is confused with a Coral snake and vice versa. What you POSSIBLY saw and see a picture of "is" a poisonous Coral snake and not a "non poisonous" king snake.
Seeing a black head is not a 100% accurate method when determining whether or not a snake is a type of poisonous Coral or a king snake, etc. Remember the old saying: "red and yellow will kill a fellow." What this means is that RED AND YELLOW ARE NOT SEPARATED - the red and yellow bands touch. The California Mountain King Snake has a black head but does not have red and yellow bands that touch.

It's a King snake, probably. They are harmless to people and all but the tiniest pets. Whatever it is, it is non-poisonous.

Call your local (county) extension service, or UC Davis and speak to someone, perhaps a zoologist. They can either answer or send you in the right direction.
