The milk snake is a non-threatening species of snake found in the Americas. These snakes are eye-catching because of the bright bands or rings of red, black, yellow, and white that characterizes their appearance. The red bands are often framed in black, and thin black stripes separate the red from the yellow and white bands. Milk snakes' patterns are commonly mistaken for the deadly coral snake's, however the bands on each species are arranged differently. Depending on species and geographic area, milk snakes can reach lengths of 20 to 60 inches (50 to 152 cm). They don't pose any health risks to people and help keep rodent populations in check because to their diet of small rodents. Because of their good looks and manageable size, several reptile fans keep them as pets. There are multiple subspecies and color variations of milk snakes, and they can be found in various settings, including woods, grasslands, and rocky places. The traditional misconception that these snakes would enter barns in search of milking cows is likely where the moniker "milk snake" was first coined.
