Lampropeltis triangulum (Milk Snake) |
Lampropeltis triangulum, also known as Milk Snake is one of the king snake species and there are around 24 subspecies to it. These snakes can be found around southeastern Canada through most of continental US and around northen South America. They can grow up to 152cm long when they are at adult stage. They tend to have shiny and smooth scales and often come in color patterns of red-black-yellow or sometimes white-black-red bands. That aside, they tend to be confused with coral snakes which they both bear striking resemblance which may scare off predators. But unlike Coral snakes, Milk snakes are not venomous.
