The Queen Snake has a slender, olive-brown body with a pale yellow stripe running along its sides.
It prefers clean, freshwater streams and rocky rivers for its habitat.
This snake primarily feeds on soft-shelled crayfish during their molting phase.
Non-venomous and harmless to humans, it helps maintain aquatic ecosystem balance.
Queen Snakes are active during the day and are most commonly seen basking on rocks.
They reproduce through live birth, with females giving birth to up to 20 young in late summer.
Their presence indicates healthy water quality, making them vital environmental indicators.
