Eastern milksnake Scarlet kingsnake
Description:
Scarlet Kingsnake (L. triangulum elapsoides): Scarlet kingsnakes are considerably smaller than milk snakes and reach lengths of 14 - 20 in (36-51 cm).
The Eastern Milksnake appears to be absent from the north-central forested region. It is quite common in the Kettle Moraine State Forest in eastern Wisconsin, and populations still persist in Milwaukee County.
