Milksnake Central plains basic information
The Central Plains Milksnake is an average sized, colorful snake. Their coloration of a light body with red, orange, yellow and/or white patches and black-edged brown patches on the side of the body resemble that of the Copperhead or Coral Snake. This adaptation is useful in that it protects them from some prey. They also can be mistaken for the venomous snakes by humans who often kill them without knowing they are harmless. This Milksnake's body is usually gray or tan, often with a Y-shaped spot on the neck. The neck is banded with black. Lighter colored bands separate these bands.
