In the spring of 2018, the students researched animals located in Stillwater County, either at its northern area, which is primarily grassland or farmland, or at its southern extension, which is mountainous coniferous terrain with some alpine meadows.
A milk snake is a reptile. If you want to know a milk snake from other Stillwater county reptiles, you should see their camouflaging.
They are ringed or striped. Their stripes are orange, black and, white. The top of the Lampropeltis elapsoides head is black; the bottom of their head is white. They’re seven - nine inches.
