The King Snake

King Snakes are colorful creatures that come in a variety of patterns - stripes, rings or speckles. They usually measure 3 to 6 feet long, but some can grow up to 7 feet! Known for their shiny and smooth scales, King Snakes are constrictors. That means they coil around and squeeze their prey until it can't breathe. They have a surprisingly gentle nature towards humans and are popular as pets!
