Do King Snakes Have Rattles

Do king snakes have rattles? This is a question that I get asked a lot and it’s one that I’m not really sure how to answer. I’ve seen king snakes with what looked like rattles but I’m not sure if they’re actually capable of producing a rattling sound.

There are two types of king snakes – the common king snake and the California king snake. The common king snake is found in the eastern United States while the California king snake is found in the western United States. Both types of king snakes are non-venomous and kill their prey by constriction.

One theory is that the “rattles” on king snakes are actually just modified scales that produce a rattling sound when the snake moves. Another theory is that the “rattles” are actually modified segments of the snake’s spine that produce a rattling sound. There is no scientific evidence to support either of these theories.

So do king snakes have rattles? I’m not really sure. But it’s an interesting question that I’m hoping to find an answer to someday.
