The cauliflower snake, also called the king snake, is one of the few large non-venomous snakes in rural areas. It is called the "king snake" because of the black stripes with the word "king" on its head. They are mainly They live in hills and mountains, and are often found near water sources in our northern plains. They have a violent temperament and feed on birds, rats, and frogs. They will also eat their own kind when they are extremely hungry, and they will also climb trees to dig out bird eggs. , use their thick bodies to strangle large animals and swallow them slowly. Sometimes they will go to farmers' homes to steal chickens, which is very scary. However, there must be no venomous snakes around places where there are cauliflower snakes, because there is a folk saying of "One Place" "Wang Jin Snake, a non-venomous snake ten miles away".
I remember when I was young, around June or July, my friends and I went to the river bank to cut pigweed. There were green grass everywhere on the concave slopes of the river bank, and we gathered a lot of them. We competed with each other to see who could win. I was picking it up quickly, and suddenly my friend shouted, "Snake", "Snake", I hurriedly ran over and saw a rape yellow snake with horizontal and diagonal stripes deep in the grass. Its whole body was so tired that it was as big as a millstone. It was so big, and the core was spitting out from its mouth, as if to warn us again, don't blame me for being rude if we don't leave. My friend and I were so scared that we didn't even want the basket, and ran home in a hurry. Under the influence of curiosity, we I went back and took a look. There was nothing there, only an unpleasant smell remained there. According to that length, it should be an adult cauliflower snake, weighing at least six or seven kilograms.
It is said that the cauliflower snake can grow up to 20 to 30 pounds. The body length of the young snakes that have just hatched can reach 35 to 45 centimeters. It is scary to think about it. I have seen a snake in the news before. The "huge" cauliflower snake caught by the villagers was more than 2 meters long, and its body was thicker than an adult man's forearm. Some people said it looked like 14 to 15 pounds, and some said it weighed less than 20 pounds. However, The cauliflower snake can grow to such a big size, and it should live for at least hundreds of years. In order to protect wild animals, I heard that the snake was finally released into the wild. Although the cauliflower snake is not poisonous, it is so large that it No one dares to catch it, except professionals or firefighters.
To sum up, the largest cauliflower snake I have seen in the countryside only weighs six or seven kilograms, but its size is shocking. The largest cauliflower snake is said to be able to grow to more than twenty kilograms. It is simply A smaller version of the python.
