Well - they're a non-venomous species of snake. They kill by constriction instead of injecting venom. Also - the king snakes are one of the most docile of snake species - and take to handling fairly quickly.

What is the difference in a king snake and a black snake?

Not much. Rat snakes come in different color patterns and combinations than kingsnakes, and are usually a bit larger than king snakes. Other than that, they are very similar. They are both non poisonous colubrids, and make great pets. They also eat similar diets of small rodents and other animals such as lizards and bird eggs/baby birds (if flightless and they can catch them). I believe that they are from similar areas, which include the southwestern united states and northwestern mexico.

King Snakes are killed and eaten by Hawks, Eagles, Owls, Badgers, Racoons and I doubt a Black or Brown Bear would have any problems snacking on them if encountered. King Snakes can be eaten by other snakes as well ... though I haven't found out which snakes are their primary predators yet.

King snakes and corn snakes have distinct differences in appearance and behavior. In terms of appearance, king snakes typically have banded patterns with white and black or brown colors, while corn snakes have vibrant colors like red, orange, and yellow with a pattern resembling maize kernels. Behavior-wise, king snakes are known to be more aggressive and may eat other snakes, while corn snakes are generally docile and prefer smaller prey like rodents.
