What Is a Type of Red, Black and White Snake?

Scarlet kingsnakes mostly inhabit the southeastern corner of the United States, though they can be found throughout the eastern states. This species is carnivorous and mostly eats smaller reptiles.

The scarlet kingsnake was once considered part of a larger group of snakes called milk snakes. Milk snakes also have red and black markings, and their third color may be either white or yellow.
