Lampropeltis ruthveni
Ruthven’s kingsnake (Lampropeltis ruthveni) is a kingsnake native to the central Mexican highlands and widely bred in captivity. Its red, black, and pale rings create a distinct banded pattern. It lays eggs. Captive housing should include secure floor space, multiple hides, and a temperature gradient, with furnishings arranged to support terrestrial activity and retreat.
