## Caption

If it runs into itself, game over. 

This Sonoran Mountain kingsnake (Lampropeltis pyromelana) showed off its climbing (and snake game) skills on the walls of the visitor center @coronado_nps. (Just looking for a brochure, ranger.) The Sonoran Mountain Kingsnake is a medium-sized snake with red, white, and black bands. It is non-venomous, but it’s a mimic of the Coral Snake which helps it to avoid predation. Red on yellow, kill a fellow. Red on black, venom lack.
