Pacific gopher snake
Family Colubridae
Pituophis melanoleucus catenifer
In the wild,
their diet consists of small mammals, birds and eggs. While they are
primarily ground dwellers and burrowers, many are semi-arboreal. The
common, large, gopher snake is usually between 36 and 96 inches
long. Gopher snakes range in color from cream-yellow to green-gray
to tan, with large black, brown or reddish blotches on their back
and smaller ones along their sides. |
