The King Snake is a non-venomous snake found primarily in North America. Known for its striking patterns and colors, it can vary from black and white to vibrant hues. King Snakes are popular in the pet trade due to their docile nature and ease of care. They can grow to lengths of 3 to 6 feet and are often recognized for their ability to mimic the appearance of venomous snakes, such as the Coral Snake.
These snakes are constrictors, meaning they subdue their prey by wrapping around it and suffocating it. King Snakes primarily feed on small mammals, birds, and other reptiles, including other snakes. They are also known for their immunity to the venom of some rattlesnakes, allowing them to prey on these dangerous species.
