Eastern Milk Snake
Lampropeltis Triangulum
34.5628, -84.2476
Field Notes
Description:
This is a Non venomous snake in an enclosure at the Ranger Station & Hiker Check-in Building Exhibit. Amicalola Falls State Park, Chattahoochee National Forest, 418 Amicalola State Park Rd, Dawsonville, GA 30534-1003, USA.
Signage in the second picture is a sign on the aquarium where this snake was housed. The sign gives a good description, habitat and food chain details.
Notes:
Many sites describe the Milk snake as red/black/yellow markings getting darker with age. This was a brown snake with darker brown stripes broken by tan stripes. This picture may have been a very old version of the red/black/yellow snake.
--In the North America, snakes with red touching yellow, unbroken by black are venomous and are Coral Snakes. If the red and yellow is broken by black rings, they are a number of Coral Snake imitators.
