The Eastern Kingsnake is black, though sometimes brown shades are seen, with 20 to 45 white to yellow cross bands along its body and tail. The pattern is often described as chain-like hence their other name "Chain Kingsnake". They are larger than some other kingsnake species, ranging from three to six feet in length at maturity. Their heads and bellies are also black to brown with lighter colored markings.
