Ever See This At N Table??
|
Pic from Wiki Actually saw one a few months back whilst driving to the parking lot. Thought it was just some kid's toy -- but then it moved! They get their name from their taste for other snakes and are reportedly immune to venom. |

I'll add a hint for your game: |
|
Yes! I saw one up there last year and started asking the question about black on red and you're dead or black on yella, kill a fella. |
|
Red on black you're okay, Jack. |

I believe this is the King Snake. Not venomous but it eats venomous snakes. He must be snacking on all the rattlers up there. Kings are often confused with Corral Snakes which are quite venomous. Like Buff said, Red on black, you ok jack. Red on yellow will kill a fellow. |

It's a Florida Kingsnake, but what are those doing out here!? |
|
okay, don't go that literally from the pic, maybe, unless someone gave it the toss. |

I saw one of these in the flatirons once. Rare to see compared to rattlers but they live on the front range. |
|
Ha! |

|
I'm with Wayne. That's a Milk Snake. |

buff, i saw one up there maybe 12, 15 years ago or so. it really freaked me out, as i had never seen anything like it before. pretty cool. although i don't like snakes. |

Another vote for Mountain (or Scarlet) King Snake. |
|
These things eat rattlers? Lets import a truckload! |

I think in this day and age, it should be the Latte-Banded-HighPositionOfEitherGender-HillsideSnakeFrappachino |

Mountain King Snake... My Vote Really cool snakes... Anything that can kill and eat Rattle Snakes has my vote. I had a rattle snake chase me down the trail from Lone Peak in Utah. Very interesting. |
