The Chihuahua
Kingsnakes are also known as Tarahumara Kingsnakes.
Because of their brilliant and cleanly defined coloring,
they make lovely captives. These snakes originated from
only one small area of the world, the Tarahumara Mountains.
The Chihuahua Kingsnake is usually quickly tamed in
captivity with regular handling and will often cling
to their handlers, probably imitating the rock climbing
actions it would in the wild. The Chihuahua Kingsnakes
come from mountainous regions where warm seasons may
be relatively short, and many stop eating before the
summer is over. The Chihuahua Kingsnake has a broad
head with a well-defined neck and slender bodies.
