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.
Eastern king snakes hide under various objects in their environment. As a defense they give off a smelly musk when captured and may bite. They also vibrate the tail when captured or alarmed; if the snake is in leaves the sound is like that of a rattle.he eastern king snake range includes southern New Jersey to West Virginia, south to north Florida, and west to the Appalachians and southeastern Alabama. The eastern king snake is fed mice, rats, and chicks.
