A black kingsnake resting on a log near water.

Kingsnakes are non-venomous snakes that hunt their prey of rodents, birds, and lizards by constriction. Their name is derived by their immunity to pit viper venom; a helpful advantage to preying on venomous snakes such as water moccasins and rattlesnakes.
