| Statewide. A beautiful and common snake, the common kingsnake is a highly variable species of kingsnake. The name kingsnake implies that the snake can eat pretty much anything it wants, which includes anything from rodents and small birds to lizards and other snakes. Oklahoma is home to two subspecies, the speckled kingsnake, L. g. holbrooki (pictured), and the desert kingsnake, L. g. splendida. |
