  King snakes in general live across the southern continental United States across the deserts of Arizona to Mexico. Their size ranges from 80-170 centimeters. They might be striped, speckled or banded. They are black and yellow and they
eat the most in the fall. The king snake will become dormant in winter, but it will still shed its skin. He or she must stay near water. Some give birth to live young, but most don't. The king snakes have broils instead of eyelids, this keeps the dust, dirt, and sand out of their eyes. This also gives them glossy eyes or a dazed look.
