Welcome to the Alterna Page, the on-line reference guide to the Gray-banded Kingsnake, Lampropeltis alterna. This site was begun in December 1994 as a collaboration of hobbyist and professional herpetologists sharing their writings, images, and experiences regarding this fascinating snake. Inside you will find literally hundreds of images, maps, and documents, covering the natural history of this serpent.
