Milk Snakes Pt.2

BRIGHT AND COLORFUL SNAKES                                

Most milk snakes have bright colors on their smooth, scaly skin. Their body colors are mainly red, orange, brown, or gray. They also have black and either yellow or white rings. They are often said to be tricolored, or marked by three colors. Milk snakes can vary greatly in color. A pale milk snake has a whitish body color with red or orange spots that are often bordered by black rings. A Utah milk snake has a greater number of rings than most other milk snakes have. Its rings are often red, black, and white. An eastern milk snake has a pattern of tan, brown, gray, or brick red blotches. On the back of its neck, it has a Y-or V-shaped patch of tan.
