- **Event Description**: The Buttermilk Racer

One of the most popular snakes encountered in Jesse Jones Park is the Buttermilk Racer (Coluber constrictor anthicus). No, it does not like to drink buttermilk. However, it often has buttermilk-colored spots on its body which has a base color of black, greens, yellows, greys and even sometimes blue. Its underside is white or cream-colored.

The Buttermilk Racer a subspecies of the Eastern Racer, a nonvenomous colubrid snake, endemic to the southern United States. It is found only in the United States, in southern Arkansas, Louisiana and southern and eastern Texas.

The buttermilk racer is a thin-bodied snake, capable of attaining a total length of approximately 5 feet. 

This is a diurnal snake. It is an active predators. It is fast moving, and is often quick to bite if handled. They generally eat rodents, lizards and frogs, but as juveniles they will also consume various kinds of soft-bodied insects.

Mating typically occurs in the spring, from April to early June. Females lay a clutch of 3 to 30 oval, white eggs in a hidden nest site around a month later (June or July). These sites can include rotting logs, abandoned rodent burrows, or under rocks. The eggs are known for having a granular or bumpy texture, resembling hard, dry grains of salt.

The eggs usually hatch in late summer or early fall (August or September), after an incubation period of around 50-60 days. These snakes have been known to lay their eggs communally, with multiple females, sometimes even from different snake species, using the same nest site. 
 
They are fairly nervous snakes, and as such, do not typically fare well in captivity. For protection, they release a foul-smelling scent when caught to deter predators. They also thrash around to escape and can unknowingly injure themselves.
