Non-venomous and can prey on rats and venomous snakes. Therefore, in the vast rural areas, they are respected and loved by people as one of the domestic snakes.
Sometimes even if they are found sneaking into the home, people will not drive them away. Even when they leave, people respectfully thank them.
However, the king snake enters the house, and although it can prey on the rats hidden in the house, it will also steal the eggs in the house. Therefore, it is not a good thing to allow the king snake, as a domestic snake, to enter the home.
In addition, the king snake also has the reputation of "stinky king snake". This is because the smell on its body is so foul that once it gets on our skin, it can't be eliminated for a week.
