Diet

Graham's crayfish snake is primarily a carnivorous species, with a distinct preference for water-dwelling creatures. Its diet predominantly consists of frogs, small fish, tadpoles, and various aquatic invertebrates. This species demonstrates efficient hunting techniques, particularly in watery environments.

Appearance

Graham's crayfish snake is a small, slender snake with smooth scales. Its body is typically a muted brown or olive color, with irregular, dark brown or black blotches running down its back. Juveniles may appear more vivid, with golden bodies and black markings. There is no notable sexual dimorphism. Graham's crayfish snake lacks unique appendages like horns or wings, but possesses a forked tongue typical of most snakes.

Behavior

Graham's crayfish snake is a nocturnal predator, predominantly solitary, with exception during mating season. It exhibits distinctive foraging behavior, using a keen chemical sense to locate and consume its prey. Graham's crayfish snake engages in territorial marking through acidic emitted secretions, effectively discouraging rivals. Adapting well to its arid environment, it undertakes a unique form of locomotion, sidewinding, for movement across hot sands.
