Description

While hiking in the Land Between the Lakes Kentucky, we spotted this handsome Eastern Black Kingsnake.

Black Kingsnakes inhabit forests, agricultural lands, wetland edges and even suburban areas. Black Kingsnakes are moderate to stocky black snakes, with small yellowish spots on the head and back. The belly has a black and white checkered pattern. Their head is not distinct from their neck. Adult Black Kingsnakes may reach up 4 feet in total length.

While Black Kingsnakes are nonvenomous, they may vibrate their tail, release musk and bite if handled.
