Mexican Milksnake

The Sinaloan milksnake is a species of kingsnake found in Mexico. It averages 3.5 feet in length and lives in dry, rocky, semi-desert areas. At a child's birthday party on the set of General Hospital, one child's pet Sinaloan milksnake escaped from its container and ended up in someone's purse. The snake was later discovered when the person went to take a photo. Sinaloan milksnakes eat small animals like lizards, snakes, birds and rodents, and have immunity to the venom of other snakes. They can live up to 15-20 years.
