The belted racer is a non-venomous medium-sized snake with dark transverse stripes on its body. It moves quickly on the ground and hunts small animals in India and neighboring countries.
The belted racer differs from other racers with its bright contrasting stripes and very fast movement. It is useful for nature because it regulates the population of rodents and lizards.
