Cal king

plural Cal kings

1. informalA California king (a large bed measuring 72 × 84 inches).

   Only when she was wearing her nightgown and ensconced in the Cal King bed with a lot of pillows did she call Richie. He didn't answer, which was odd.

2. informalThe California kingsnake (Lampropeltis getula californiae, a nonvenomous colubrid snake endemic to the western United States and northern Mexico).

   Adult Cal kings average about 4 feet (1.2 m) in length, so an enclosure similar in size to a 20-gallon (76-L) aquarium is fine for them.
