EASTERN KINGSNAKE

The Eastern Kingsnake (Lampropeltis getulus getulus) is an attractive, non-venomous snake known for its striking chain-like patterns and social demeanor. Typically reaching up to 6 feet in length, it is a nocturnal predator that suffocates its prey, which includes other snakes, lizards, rodents, and birds. Found in a limited range from Pennsylvania to Florida, these snakes prefer habitats like rocky hillsides and swampy areas. With smooth scales and a cylindrical body, the Eastern Kingsnake is a remarkable creature worth learning about.
