Description: Description: Eastern kingsnakes are large -- 36 48 in (90-122 cm) -- shiny-black, smooth-scaled snakes with white or yellow chain-link bands that cross the back and connect along the sides. Because of this pattern this species is also referred to as the chain kingsnake.
They were the palest shade of grey I had ever seen in a snake -- almost white, void of markings. They were the absolute exact same color as the ground. My bluish light was probably producing some color distortion, but if so, it was distorting the color of the snakes and the ground in the same way.
