Florida Kingsnake

Florida Kingsnakes display a range of colors from brown to yellow and have yellowish crossbands along their back and a chain-like pattern running along their sides.

Snakes primarily defend themselves by fleeing, but when cornered or harmed, they may resort to biting. Additionally, some snakes may emit a foul-smelling musk or defecate when threatened. The Florida kingsnake will usually flee when threatened but when cornered may strike, musk, or rapidly vibrate the tip of the tail.
