*Graphic Warning- Roadkill* snake ID

[MN_Rebel]

I found this roadkill snake in central Minnesota. I suspected that it was either escaped or dumped snake but what species is that?

Could be a scarlet king snake but most likely just some type of milk snake.

Ya I've never seen anything like that in MN before. Agreed probably escaped or dumped.

It is afalse coral. A Lampropeltis Milk snake.

Escaped, surely.

All I know that I found it on a road yesterday near the town when the crows picked on it. I passed this roadkill and I was like "Man that's pretty big for a Minnesota snake" so I drove around and check it out.

Hmm. Its definitely a milksnake, I think they only have eaten milks there, but it doesn't look like any eastern milk ive seen.
How big was it?

I agree that it's a milksnake, but it's not a native subspecies (at least according to this guide).

It was over 20". I guess I should mentioned that it was found near the urban area. In fact it was closer to the tobacco store.
