Kingsnake

Here is an older video that I thought was lost forever when my old video camera broke but fortunately i had loaded on my computer and forgot about. This is the coastal subspecies of san luis obispo county. king snakes are common in our area and we are glad to have them, they have a broad diet that includes rattlesnakes which helps to keep balance in our ecosystem. taxonomy name is lampropeltis getula. This particular snake crawled into the hole and a mouse popped out of another exit hole.
