Description
Grey rat snake (Elaphe obsoleta spiloides) on the branch of a tree. Rat snakes inhabit hardwood forests and abandoned buildings from south-eastern Canada to northern Mexico. As their name suggests, these snakes feed on rats, other rodents and birds, killing them by constriction. They are excellent climbers and have little difficulty ascending trees and buildings when foraging.
