Kingsnakes are non-venomous snakes found primarily in North America. They are known for their striking patterns and colors, which can vary widely among species. Kingsnakes are often mistaken for coral snakes, but they can be distinguished by their different color patterns and the fact that kingsnakes are harmless. These snakes are constrictors, meaning they subdue their prey by wrapping around it and squeezing. Their diet mainly consists of small mammals, birds, and other reptiles, including venomous snakes. Kingsnakes are also known for their ability to eat other snakes, making them effective predators in their ecosystems.
