King Snake

Summary
Kingsnakes are basic game animals and are one of two snakes available to play in Web Earth Online, the other being the Rattlesnake. The King Snake hunts by constricting its prey, and is immune to Rattlesnake's poison.

Diet
The Kingsnake feeds exclusively on fresh meat. It hunts for itself by constricting prey, which can be done by clicking prey and scrolling down in the action menu to click the red coil icon. When prey is constricted, it is trapped in the player's inventory unable to escape and slowly loses health. When it dies its entire carcass will remain in the player's inventory allowing them to carry it and drop it wherever they choose.

Unlike it's real-life counterpart, in-game kingsnakes do not swallow their prey whole but take bites out of carcasses like all the other animals. However, being able to carry entire carcasses may be compensation for this.

The kingsnake will also eat meat pieces that have been recently picked from a carcass.

Nests
Kingsnakes can lay up to 10 eggs in a single clutch. They do not require nests to lay eggs and all of their eggs will survive upon birth, even if born in the main world. Although NPC snakes will care for and feed their young, it is possible for snake young to survive without being fed or cared for at all, assuming they are not using energy to challenge or attack other animals. This corresponds with real snakes, who do not care for their young past incubating the eggs.

As they prefer to live in burrows, King snakes are capable of digging small holes in any accessible land spot on the main world map, where they may hide or lay their eggs.
