Comments:	The Northern Pine Snake is one of the largest North American snakes. The diurnal Northern Pine Snake can be found in forests, woods, plains, and sand hills. They feed primarily on eggs, rodents, and lizards. The Northern Pine Snake spends much of its time in underground burrows. When threatened, the Northern Pine Snake will usually hiss and vibrate its tail before it strikes. Some hobbyists have reported that Northern Pine Snakes may become stubborn eaters, though others have reported that the opposite is true. If you want to ensure that your Northern Pine Snake does not become a stubborn or problem eater, some have suggested feeding rats from early on. Hatchlings may be switched from mice to rats as early as possible. Feeding pinky rats from an early age should make them accept rats later in life. The Northern Pine Snake can reach up to about 7 feet in length, although they average around five feet. They are often considered one of the most beautiful snakes found in North America. The white, gray, yellow, or tan sides of the snake are marked with red, black or brown spots. The coloration is usually darker towards the neck than at the tail. Found in a very large portion of North America, the Northern Pine Snake is most common in New Jersey, West Virginia, Georgia and North Carolina. While they can be quite aggressive when first acquired, the Northern Pine Snake will often calm down with sufficient care and handling. http://www.centralpets.com/animals/reptiles/snakes/snk2786.html
