  • I found him at Caledesi Island in Clearwater Beach Florida. At first I thought he was yawning but the footage looked like he was warning me to stay away. There was a posted sign that said beware of rattlesnakes. thanks for the input. I never had an experience like this with a snake before.

  • The only way you could have a "Deadly Encounter" with a Kingsnake would be if you tripped over it, fell down, and hit your head. I have one as a pet, and they are the most docile snake there is. Kingsnakes "yawn" like that shortly after they have eaten to re-hook their jaws. I pick up wild ones and move them off the road when I see them. I have never been bitten. They are very good snakes to have around. They eat rats, mice and rattlesnakes. Don't touch any snake you don't know, some can kill u.

  • Don't have it removed King Snakes eat other snakes like big rattlers

  • Nice

  • The only U.S snake i know of that opens his mouth to warn you is the cottonmouth.

  • Big chain king or blotched king, hard to tell but deff 1 of the 2. awesome vid man

  • @Smilieracer This is wrong information.  If this was true many pythons and boas would be venemous (such as my very own ball python, red tail boa, etc). Many snakes with round pupils are venomous, such as the: coral snake, any of the mambas (black mamba, etc), boomslang, and many others.

  • To tell if a snake is venomous i believe you just look at there eyes. (if you don't mind getting that close) if their pupils are round their NOT venomous, but if they are like slits they ARE venomous.

  • @lrecollet

    Kingsnkes are not poisonous (actually it would be not venomous).

    I have an interesting video on my channel of small children playing with my kingsnake.

    I think kingsnakes make the best snake pets.

    People who do not like snakes, like my kingsnake, because he seems to be "friendly".

    Snakes are not really friendly pets, like a dog or cat can be, but they do get comfortable around people, and not acting defensive. Which passes for friendly.

  • @legion1a king snakes are not poisonuos, are they?

  • Yes, the snake is yawning. I have kept them for years and they do that. I believe they also do it to realign their jaws after eating. Neat!
