it IS possible to breed the two together...and the resulting hybrids will most likely NOT be sterile.....
That said, that particular cross might be more difficult unless conditions are just right. Cals have a bigger tendency toward cannibalism. You may end up with a well fed Cal king. You’d have to watch carefully and time things right.
Jurrassic milks are milksnake X kingsnake.
There are plenty of hybrid snakes out there.

The two species can be bred together but sometimes one must have a female of the same species as the male to make the right scent ( Female snakes ready to mate lay down a scent from scent glands in their vent) then switch her out for the intended female once the male is aroused. I will try to find the link about this; I have detailed information on the technique but can’t find it just yet.
