Yellow racer snakes have been found in a variety of habitats around the world. They range in size from twenty to forty-eight inches. The largest females can grow to 70 inches long. Hatchlings are about eight to twelve inches long. In North America, their distribution ranges from southern Canada to southern Texas. They also occur in eastern Missouri and western Montana. There are several subspecies that live in different parts of the United States.

Insects
The Yellow racer is one of the few snake species in British Columbia that eat insects. They are remarkably quick snakes and have been observed sliding their heads down grass blades to scare insects away. They are also very good climbers. Their natural habitat is grasslands and ponderosa pine forests in dry regions of British Columbia.
These snakes can grow up to six feet in length. They are usually blue or black in color with spots or blotches on their skin. The juvenile racer has a white chin and dark blue body. This species breeds during the spring and early summer. They feed on insects, reptile eggs, and small birds.
Small reptiles
Yellow racer snakes are found in Canada, where they are commonly found in Ontario, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan. They are also found in all states of the United States, though they are most common in New Mexico, Arizona, and Maine. They are also found in eastern parts of Mexico, mostly in Guatemala and Belize.
Eastern Yellow-Bellied Racers are diurnal snakes that feed on insects and small reptiles. The juveniles feed on insects and frogs, and they often attack young birds. The snakes are harmless to humans, but they can be very difficult to handle. They have foul-smelling musk secreted from their cloacae, and they have been known to make snarling sounds with their tails.
The Western Yellow-Bellied Racer is a medium-sized snake with smooth scales. Its body is olive-green or grey-green, but it can also be brown or blue. Its belly is yellow, and it resembles a rattlesnake. Its head and tail are long and flat. Its body is uniformly colored on the dorsal surface, but the belly is bright to pale yellow, and it has dark spots. The Western Yellow-Bellied Racer has very small markings, but is often vulnerable to predators.
Birds
The Yellow racer is a species of snake native to the eastern United States, Canada, and parts of Mexico. It feeds on frogs, small snakes, and birds. It also eats small rodents and insects. The snakes lay eggs during the summer months in communal or hidden nests, and hatch in early fall. The young snakes have spotted sides and bellies and dark bands along their backs. They resemble rattlesnakes.
Eastern racers are diurnal and active throughout the day. They hibernate communally in the winter and are generally solitary in the spring and summer. During breeding season, females lay eggs in late July and the young hatch in early September. Eastern racer snakes reach sexual maturity in their second year.
Frogs
Yellow racer snakes, like most other snakes, are carnivorous. They eat a variety of small animals including frogs. This species also feeds on small mammals, birds, and lizards. Their young are also fed on frogs and other small animals.
Most snakes do not attack humans. However, some snakes may attack and kill frogs. These species can be attracted to the frog’s scent and then swallow it whole. However, some snakes are more successful at catching and eating frogs than others.
The Yellow racer snake is found throughout the United States. Its range is from the Sacramento Valley to the Modoc County Great Basin Desert. In late January, a juvenile racer was discovered under a rock in Contra Costa County. Although it is small in size, it is still dangerous to humans. Adults range from 20 to 75 inches (51 to 190 cm) long. The average snake length in California is less than three feet.
