Speckled Kingsnake ( Lampropeltis holbrooki) They are sometimes mistaken for the elaphe guttata or young copperheads, but even baby copperheads have the characteristic hourglass marking.Ī defensive prairie kingsnake will rattle its tail in leaf litter to sound more threatening. They eat a wide range of prey including other snakes. They are 30-42 and tan or gray with numerous black-bordered brownish blotches on the back and sides.
