Yellow-Red Rat Snakes
Usually Found: Most of Mexico & Central America
The Yellow-Red Rat Snake species is likely a controversial addition to this list, as they are not exclusively found in caves. However, many of these snakes have made their home inside caves for a very long time. The species is traditionally found all over Mexico and some parts of Central America. These areas are incredibly rich and diverse, as they are home to all kinds of animal types.
Interestingly, many are pretty small and that gives these snakes a very nice edge for survival. Those found in Mexico mostly eat rats and mice, hence the name. However, those in Central America might eat several types of animals from mice and rats like their Mexican cousin to things like lizards, frogs, and countless other animals. Due to many of these creatures living in or traveling through caves, this snake tends to spend a lot of time there.
