This snake is also called Allen's snake, the striped swamp snake, the striped swampsnake, or simply the swamp snake. It is endemic to peninsular Florida.[5] Although rarely seen due to its secretive behavior, it can be found in large numbers in wet areas, with densities approaching 1,300 snakes per hectare (525 snakes per acre).[6] EtymologyThe specific name, alleni, is in honor of zoologist Joel Asaph Allen,[7] who collected the type specimen. DescriptionIt is of "small medium"[8] size, {{convert|33|-|50|cm}} in total length (including tail),[9] with a heavy body. The stripes which contribute to its common name are indistinct and located on the dark dorsal side. The ventral side is yellow with some dark spots. The dorsal scales, which are arranged in 19 rows at midbody, are smooth on the body, with some keeled scales in the anal region.[10] There is a clear sexual dimorphism with the females being the larger sex. Habitat and geographic rangeThe striped crayfish snake is a semiaquatic snake and is regularly found in swamps and bogs, including cypress swamps as well as roadside ditches. The northern range limit is near the Florida-Georgia border. DietBesides crayfish, it also eats shrimp and dragonfly larvae. ReproductionIt is a live-bearer, and the females produce six or more young. References1. ^Hammerson, G.A. 2016. Liodytes alleni.
