Kingsnake Prairie behavior

The Prairie Kingsnake is an active, yet secretive snake that can be found in the Midwestern United States. They are quite docile and easy to care for, which makes them good pets for beginners.

As it moves through the prairies, fields, ditches, pastures, grasslands, and woodlands that they make their home, the Prairie Kingsnake feeds on lizards, birds, snakes, eggs, frogs, lizards and small mammals. They often choose to hunt near people's houses or barns, which is beneficial to both the human and the snake: the snake gets plenty of food, and the human doesn't have to worry so much about rodents and poisonous snakes. As a kingsnake, the Prairie Kingsnake will kill and eat venomous snakes. The venom of snakes in North America cannot harm them. The Prairie Kingsnake is primarily diurnal. It is active during the day in the spring and fall, although they often switch their habits to a nocturnal lifestyle in the hot summer months. They usually hibernate from October to April in the wild. While the Prairie Kingsnake can be an aggressive feeder and often makes a meal of other snakes, even those of the same species, they are generally very docile and easy to handle despite their secretive nature.
