King snakes are non-venomous snakes found primarily in North America. They are known for their striking patterns, which can include bands or stripes in various colors, such as black, yellow, and white. King snakes can grow to be quite large, with some species reaching lengths of up to 6 feet. They are often found in diverse habitats, including forests, grasslands, and deserts. These snakes are known for their ability to eat other snakes, including venomous ones like copperheads and rattlesnakes. This unique trait has earned them the nickname "king" of snakes. King snakes are generally docile and can be kept as pets, making them popular among reptile enthusiasts.
