Scarlet Kingsnake

Place of Origin and Range	Scarlet Milk snake is a species of king snake found in the south eastern and eastern portions of the United States.
Description	Scarlet king snakes have a tricoloured pattern of black, red, white, and various shades of yellow bands that appear to mimic the venomous coral snake in a form of Batesian mimicry. A method to help differentiate between venomous and non venomous tricolour snakes in North America is found in the popular phrases "red on yellow, kill a fellow; red on black venom at lack", "red on yellow's a deadly fellow; yellow on black's a friendly Jack" or "If red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow; if red touches black, you're all right, Jack" and "Red and black is a friend of Billy Jack", as well as "Red on black, friend of Jack; red on yellow, kill a fellow", and "red band near black, venom lack; red band near yellow, bite a fellow". However, all of these phrases can be avoided with tri-coloured snakes found east of the Mississippi River with a simple phrase: "Red face, I'm safe." This is in reference to the red snout of scarlet king snakes as opposed to the prominent black snouts of the Eastern coral snake.
Morph Patterns Available	Yes
Adult Size	Can grow up to 22 inches(56cm)
Accommodation	Dry woodland, rocky arid land or pine forest. To avoid injuries anchor any rocks or branches in the habitat before you add the substrate. You will want to include a large dish for bathing and soaking; to improve shedding. Always include a day basking spot at 80'F(27'C). Along with multiple hides. Minimum 2 x 2 x 4 feet for an adult.
Lifespan	Can live 15+ years
Feeding / Diet	Lizards(Newborns), mice, and rats. Depending on the size of your snake. No bigger than the diameter of the thickest part of the snake.
Other Considerations	Snakes are relatively hardy low maintenance animals when kept in the correct environment, and require little day to day care other than feeding and cleaning out the tank as required. However, like all animals, they can still become sick or injured despite our best intentions to prevent this.
