Answer 1

Yes, they are legal in the state of California, but some cities, such as San Francisco, have ordinances against constricting snakes. You can go to your city's website and look under "animal ordinances" to see if they're allowed. To find your city's website, you can go to google.com and type in your city and state and do a search.

Answer 2

its legal up to any size unless you release it
