I'm amazed that this is the third kingsnake I have seen in a month, all on this trail
Unusual coloration (red stripes not fully wrapped in middle section). Hybridization?
One of the largest I’ve seen, maybe 30-36”
Seen with a common raven hopping around it and harassing it, on trail in Yosemite Valley. Kingsnake of some kind, I think it’s a California Mountain Kingsnake
1600 feet elevation, 75°F. The day was a high of 84
With Griffin.
