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 yellow and orange. King snakes are popular in the pet trade due to their docile nature and ease of care. These snakes are known for their ability to mimic the appearance of coral snakes, which are venomous. King snakes are constrictors, meaning they subdue their prey by wrapping around it. They primarily feed on small mammals, birds, and other reptiles, including other snakes.
