The eastern racer is a non-venomous snake with a slender body and high speed of movement. It lives in North America and hunts small animals during the day.
The eastern racer differs from other snakes by its very high speed of movement. It is beneficial to nature because it eats many rodents and insects.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
