Kingsnake San Luis Potosi basic information
Most San Luis Potosi Kingsnakes reach lengths between 24 and 32 inches, though some grow to 36 inches by maturity. They are characterized by a lovely silver coloration broken by red saddle markings. Some have a brownish base coloration, and some have black saddle markings. Regardless of the color, the saddles of San Luis Potosi Kingsnakes are usually accented by a white outline. A darker, forked marking usually spreads out over the head. The underside of a San Luis Potosi Kingsnake is usually a lighter brown or silver color. Sometimes a large tail blotch is evident. Other snakes show an entirely red, brown, or brownish gray underside. There are 21 to 25 dorsal scale rows. Males and females can only be accurately distinguished by probing.
