A single, sturdy hand-painted piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its happy pose, ready to collect and show off.

Where other kingsnakes wear bands, this one wears midnight. The Mexican black kingsnake is a solid, satin-glossy black from nose to tail — often flashing deep blue highlights in the sun — and carries all the snake-eating, venom-shrugging toughness the kingsnakes are known for.

Black as Obsidian

Adults mature into a flawless, glossy jet black, sometimes with a faint iridescent blue or purple sheen in bright light. It is one of the most striking solid-colored snakes in the world.

A King in Every Way

Like its banded relatives, it hunts and eats other snakes, is resistant to their venom, and kills by constriction — a desert predator that punches well above its size.

Desert of the Sun

It hails from the hot, arid country of Sonora, Mexico and neighboring Arizona, where its dark color may help it warm quickly in the cool desert mornings.

A Keeper’s Classic

Hardy, even-tempered and unmistakable, the Mexican black kingsnake is a beloved pet — here distilled into a smooth, plump coil of pure black.

“Coiled midnight, with an appetite for other snakes.”
