This sleek animal is a real beauty with its shiny black, red, and yellow bands that spiral around its body. It's not very big, only about 20 inches long, which isabout as long as two rulers lined up end to end. By the way, those bright colors aren't just for show, they're also a warning to other creatures to stay away.  \nSpeaking of other creatures, let's see what our striped friend likes to munch on. Scarlet King Snakes are carnivores, which means they eat meat. Their menu mainly consists of other small animals like lizards, rodents, and especially other snakes! They are constrictors, which means they wrap their bodies around their prey to catch them.  \nAfter lunch, these snakes like to chill in their homes, which are mostly in the southeastern United States. They love hanging out in pine and hardwood forests, under rocks, or in leaf litter. When it's time to have babies, female Scarlet King Snakes lay eggs and the babies are on their own once they hatch. These little snakes grow up to live for about 20 years!  \nWhile these snakes might seem scary, they’re actually pretty harmless to humans. In fact, they're often mistaken for the venomous coral snake, but you can tell them apart because the red bands on a Scarlet King Snake touch the black bands, not the yellow ones!
